Our federal government clients oversee complex programs that involve billions of dollars in expenditures. They face mission-critical challenges related to deploying capital assets, prioritizing program funding, and developing operational concepts for new technologies and procedures. At the same time, federal agencies are increasingly being asked to do more with less. LeighFisher assists our federal government clients with a broad range of analytical services to provide defensible and justifiable solutions to those challenges.
Our analytical services help clients understand the scope of their programs and identify the effect of different strategies and tactics. We have worked with our clients to develop approaches for prioritizing investments using the Analytic Hierarchy Process to weigh often-conflicting priorities. LeighFisher, and our strategic partners, have developed customized software to forecast program costs, understand the effects of changing program requirements, and assess the benefits and costs of alternative strategies. We work with our clients to develop financial and economic analyses to solve their most difficult resource allocation challenges. Our analyses have served as the foundation for program justification documentation that has been presented to oversight bodies from the Executive and Legislative branches of government.
In addition, our clients call upon our expertise in developing detailed simulation modeling to assess operational concepts for technologies, process automation, and equipment use. We have used commercially available as well as custom-built software to visualize and quantify the effects of new technologies. Our simulation modeling experience goes beyond merely developing models – we use simulation modeling as a tool to help our clients tackle policy-level issues and achieve buy-in for decisions that affect government and private sector stakeholders.
