MANAGEMENT

For more than 25 years, CRI has successfully delivered a variety of technical products and services to optimize business practices. We analyze program requirements to develop tailored tools and management structures, enabling us to provide effective, targeted Program Management Office (PMO) services. Structured to foster communication, our management approach incorporates all the components necessary to ensure effective program management and responsiveness to contract requirements, including corporate commitment, planning, execution, control, and quality assurance. We offer easily implementable tools to support acquisition planning, cost management, business continuity, Test, Training, and Exercise (TT&E), training, and social media outreach. We are able to quickly implement PMOs for programs ranging from short-term projects to long-term global initiatives.

Performance Optimization and Strategic Planning

CRI follows a structured “As-Is to Should-Be” approach to facilitate strategic planning. We conduct interviews and analyze available data to develop a thorough understanding of the “As-Is” state and work directly with stakeholders to determine the desired “Should-Be” goal. We then recommend a path to achieve the goal, including measurable milestones to track progress. We optimize performance and ensure adherence to the strategic plan by realigning current processes and available resources. We maximize use of existing analysis tools, including CRI expertise and support in capital planning and investment control (CPIC) processes and policies, annual business cases (formerly the Exhibits E300 and 53), interpretation and recommendation of departmental and governmental policy (e.g., OMB A-11), and preparation of IT budget decision papers and related narratives for agency and departmental management if required.

Program Management Office (PMO) Support

CRI provides federal agencies with a broad array of PMO services, including policy and training updates, enrollment support, report generation, end-user support, system administration support, background investigation support, governance and change control boards, and GSA Managed Service Office support. We develop, collect, and analyze performance metrics to ensure effective visibility over the program’s progress. We keep stakeholders informed with a comprehensive communications plan, which encompasses a help desk, website support, guides, FAQs, and executive support for meetings and briefings.

Acquisition Lifecycle Planning

CRI has more than 20 years of experience with acquisition support services, including development of acquisition documents such as quality assurance surveillance plans, statements of work, synopses, budget estimates, and draft solicitations. In many cases, we facilitate formal acquisition integrated product teams to ensure close integration of the many offices involved in procurement.

Continuity of Operations (COOP) and TT&E

CRI helps federal customers develop comprehensive and integrated emergency management capabilities. Our suite of emergency preparedness products includes risk-based assessments, security plans, continuity of operations plans, business continuity plans, and emergency action plans. We also support preparedness through designing, planning, and executing test, training, and exercise (TT&E) programs.

Enterprise Based Training Services, Content Development, & Outreach

CRI provides extensive enterprise-wide training support to federal agencies, conducting research and analysis and applying federal physical security standards. Our training capabilities extend to designing, developing, and executing complete training packages, including user guides, live webinars, recorded webinars, comprehensive training videos, FAQs, train-the-trainer sessions, and multi-tiered help desk support.
