Ranging from quick turn-around, expert advice to more in-depth, long-term research, the following are types of consulting services offered by DeticaDFI: Strategic and Long-Range Planning - We assist agencies in developing clear goals and objectives that correspond to their organizational interests, understanding the opportunities and constraints of their operational environments, optimizing their existing instruments and resources, and developing practical action plans to realize their objectives. Policy Planning and Analysis - We support decision-makers in analyzing their policy challenges and developing practical solutions to meet them. These projects often include the development and application of appropriate measures of merit or effectiveness as well as cost-benefit analyses. Where appropriate, we utilize a variety of modeling and gaming techniques. Force Structure Assessments - We analyze military force structure requirements and the trade-offs of different missions. In particular, we conduct operational analyses of costs and effectiveness of different force structures and mission alternatives. Our analyses in this area typically stress an empirical basis. Regional Security Analyses - Because regional security questions are critical for the success of US policy and the activities of various US agencies, DeticaDFI develops focused assessments of the political-military environment in various regions around the world to assist decision-makers. Budget and Acquisition Planning - We provide pragmatic analyses and recommendations to agencies seeking to translate their objectives to concrete budget and acquisition plans. Program Assessments and Implementation - We develop and apply various measures of effectiveness to assess the value of specific programs in achieving organizational goals. We also provide direct support to help agencies translate their strategic and organizational objectives into concrete programs. Database Development, Research, and Analysis - We apply our empirical research and experience with a variety of information technologies to develop knowledge management and database tools for a broad range of client needs. We design, develop, and maintain several databases that track aircraft deployments for the US Air Force, security engagement programs for the Office of the Secretary of Defense, and technology transfers for the Department of Commerce. Depending upon the client's particular needs, we will maintain these databases on-site in client offices or at our facilities, accessible via secure web-link or telephone. Leadership - The goals, values, and expectations that an organization's leadership sets are essential to achieving high levels of performance, effectiveness, and innovation. We assist agencies by recommending effective leadership systems that are practical for their specific organizations or missions.
