Tactical and Operational Planning


It is typical for an organization to retain a program manager to aid in the tactical and operational planning to implement strategy. The program manager must implement the company’s strategic needs through a carefully designed portfolio of projects. While this is well accepted for companies generally, it is equally true for smaller, project-based organizations.

A qualified Program Manager can add value by providing leadership in overall project portfolio development, and decision & risk analysis during program development and administration, and prudent risk management and control for cost-benefit optimization.

However, in the specialized area of tactical and operational planning, many Program Managers lack essential experience. It is for this reason we exist, to provide Tactical and Operational Planning services complementing those of a Program Manager, by assisting with program management through process improvement, change management, decision & risk analytics, and project portfolio management.
