Government and Military

The challenges facing government and military planners are exceptionally demanding. Regulated processes, COTS buying directives, technology insertion requirements and the trend toward outsourced knowledge workers create planning challenges that make long range planning essential to the delivery of government sponsored innovation. Using the Vision Strategist™ roadmapping solution, many government and military organisations have been able to:

Improve alignment between technology development and strategy. The Roadmapping Technology solution fosters better alignment between high-level directives and ongoing technology investments, allowing strategic planners to visualise the effectiveness of each research investment before the investment is made.

Increase technology reuse across command structures. By creating interoperable roadmap databases and allowing stakeholders to link to the R&D initiatives of external programs, the Vision Strategist™ solution ensures maximum technology reuse while innovating to meet individual mission goals.

Boost visibility of technology development to meet future missions. The Vision Strategist™ solution allows organisations to lay down plans against future scenarios. By linking investments to potential scenarios, decision-makers are better able to maintain readiness across a wider set of choices based on multiple contingencies.

Enhance subcontractor and supplier alignment. The Vision Strategist™ solution offers many options to import, export or validate data with any number of internal or external participants. This not only makes governance of subcontractors and suppliers easier, but it also encourages suppliers to introduce new technology your organisation can utilise.

Plan with emerging COTS requirements in mind. The Vision Strategist™ solution can be delivered out of the box to manage COTS requirements, including gathering information on end of life availability and diminishing supply vendor support. Planners are able to include new COTS technologies at every level of their technology development plans.
