Program Management Office

ASKS Consulting Group recognizes a successful project begins and ends with its program management office (PMO). ASKS, of course, understands that a PMO must deliver the oversight and day-to-day management that is required from program and project managers. And ASKS provides the critical staffing of experienced program and project managers that can step into an organization and be up and running in a matter of hours. These are attributes that any good management consulting firm should be able to deliver. What distinquishes ASKS Consulting Group from the rest is our belief that projects must be clearly articulated, concise in activities and totally transparent at all times. This is the cornerstone of our services and what we know ensures the delivery of successful projects.

Process Improvement

Since the early days of Industrial Engineering and Operations Research, the fundamental aspect of improving a business process has always been to maximize the utilization of a resource. In today's market, the number and types of process improvement methodologies and their attendant complexities meet an ever increasing need to not only improve the process but ensure that the improvement continues.

Global competition demands a business delivery system that can adjust to market changes in a matter of days, not months. As part of that solution, organizations must be capable of monitoring their operations in real time; capturing the right information to rapidly respond to opportunities in the marketplace.

While commercial, government and non-profit organizations have different combinations of drivers, at a higher level they share the same basic needs:

Maximize resource utilization by removing inefficiencies from the work flow
Deliver Quality Product & Service by integrating QC/QA into the process
Improve the Process on a Continuous Basis by providing meaningful feedback that identifies problems rather than symptoms
Manage Risk by integrating the appropriate checks and balances into the process.

IT Strategic Alignment

Information Technology Service is constantly challenged to respond to both external and internal needs. Our Alignment Service ensures that the delivery of IT service meets the organization's strategic goals. Our methodology creates a baseline which we then identify, evaluate and develop a plan to address gaps. Addressing these gaps result in maximizing IT service's value to the organization. In addition our methodology recognizes that as critical as it is to deliver services outside the traditional infrastructure, that need must be balanced with the increasing need to secure an organization's resources; both data and services.
