our story
Our founders have spent decades solving complex problems for diverse organizations in a variety of industries. Over time, they noticed an increasingly common trend challenging leaders and operating units - despite spending an ever-growing amount on technology, organizations have difficulty maximizing the benefits of those investments.
Technology needs to support your organization’s business processes. Rapid advancements outpace the ability to fully utilize hardware and software, leading to disjointed processes, communication silos, and limiting productivity. This challenge becomes particularly acute for risk management and during disruptive events.
Our team has developed a process that begins with listening to your specific and unique needs and facilitates a synergy between your goals, your processes, your people, and your technology. In the end, you will have an immersive, real-time understanding of your operating environment, including interdependencies, potential risk areas, and points of disruption, augmented by the ability to coordinate and communicate rapidly and seamlessly. In today’s highly interconnected and risk-laden world, you can’t afford not to.

In their words
Sarah is a senior consultant who analyzes risk for our federal government client across multiple disciplines, including natural hazards, human-initiated incidents, technological hazards, and public health.
