The team leaders turn to when failure isnot an option.

Using our proprietary SMART™ methodology, Herren works with our clients to document the full life cycle and identify the root causes of strained budgets and poor outcomes. This enables us to address systemic problems and re-engineer processes to create long-term solutions, not just quick fixes. As a result, the program benefits from repeatable, measurable improvements in cost savings and warfighting readiness.

Our experts have spent decades working side by side with organizations to build programmatic capacity across every stage of the life cycle. We know how to support executives as they work to meet the combat-proven standards of operating, maintaining, inspecting, and certifying forces. Our deep experience translates into actionable insights that ensure the right resources are being used in the right places and for the right reasons.

Here are some of the ways we’ve helped DOD and other security-focused programs boost performance while lowering costs:

We helped a new defense organization implement a comprehensive strategy to field and sustain unmanned and autonomous systems
We improved the performance of the military’s medical evaluation board process by significantly reducing cycle times while balancing site-level workforces to workload We optimized the impact to recapitalize critical assets by analyzing the cost of materials, assessing the rate and learning curve trends, and conducting risk and sensitivity analysis We established a program management office responsible for introducing an enterprise business system to support 72,000 users.
We drove end-to-end efficiencies across a defense organization by enabling technology, consolidating redundant assets, rationalizing overlapping applications, and optimizing large enterprise IT systems.
We secured cyber requirements for a newly established defense research organization by providing qualified validators and transitioning to the risk management framework processes and security controls
