THE PROCESS

Acquisition programmes follow a broadly generic lifecycle:

Strategic options - definition - evaluation and selection - construction - operation.

For decision-makers involved in these stages, CORDA's consultants provide:

STRATEGIC OPTIONS REVIEW:

• Analysis of requirements in an operational context to identify solutions
• Modelling and simulation to provide quantitative assessment of proposed concepts - for example, cost-benefit and trade-off analysis - providing evidence to support decision-making.

STATEMENT OF REQUIREMENTS SUPPORT:

• Construction of a model to illustrate relationships between requirements and to develop understanding of their implications.
• Provision of quantitative evidence that the agreed statement of requirements is complete, coherent and de-risked.

BID ASSESSMENT:

• Analysis and simulation of the proposed business offering to develop understanding of dynamics and business drivers.
• Application of the developed simulation to optimise solution and develop risk mitigation and opportunity exploitation strategies.
  

OPERATIONAL EFFECTIVENESS ASSESSMENT:

• Analysis of real operational data to understand what drives effectiveness, and identification of opportunities for improvement.
