To improve performance, organizations must assess the people and processes that create both opportunity and risk. SME Solutions management consulting services blend strategy with technical and human factors to create the ideal climate for success.  

We help clients optimize performance, control costs and risks, modify systems and processes, and use change, when necessary, as a catalyst for achieving success. 

Project Management

We provide functional expertise with sound management principles to assist senior executives in effectively managing programmatic, schedule, and technical risks.  We understand that the context of each situation molds and guides all phases of a project. We begin the planning process by identifying current conditions and setting goals, then visualizing the desired results. Through study and analysis, we assess past trends, while projecting their impacts on project goals. We then develop the timeframe and approach for reaching project goals within the limits of economic and policy parameters. 

Our strength lies in our ability to integrate our understanding of all aspects of a project—planning and execution—into comprehensive "action plans" that are implementable and effective. 

Security Risk Management

The management of risk is every manager’s responsibility, and affects the bottom line of every organization, either in monetary terms or in terms of operational readiness or capability. Understanding the operational environment and identifying and managing associated risk is critical to an efficient investment of resources. 

We provide an independent and objective portrait of an operation, organization, facility, or site to identify, reduce, and control potential risks and losses. Our goal is to provide decision makers a rational and defendable method for making decisions about the expenditure of precious resources and selection of cost effective countermeasures. We use a systematic and analytical process to identify the vulnerability, its likelihood of occurrence, and the impact to your organization. We then recommend countermeasures to mitigate or minimize your risk. 

We believe risk management should be a continuous assessment that allows an organization to not only manage risk of their current situation, but assess future risks as well.  Once countermeasures are implemented, we continue our assessments to gauge their effectiveness and make further recommendations as necessary.  The continuous nature of risk management allows an organization to develop and maintain a risk aware culture that understands, validates, and implements the countermeasures made by management.

Professional Development Training

We understand the importance of protecting critical company resources and information.  SME Solutions has customized its unique performance-based training solutions to address the protection of proprietary information. To assist in this effort, we offer an array of introductory and advanced training seminars/workshops designed to provide organizations and select individuals with the skill sets necessary to increase company security levels and to enhance personal security awareness of all employees.
