What We Do

New strategies and engagement philosophies, along with changing government spending patterns, are disrupting the traditional model. Through this disruption, agencies and contractors are consistently asked to do more with less. We assist governments and agencies in adapting to achieve their missions in the ever-changing government landscape.

Our clients include agencies and contractors that operate across the government value chain, from large defense platform original equipment manufacturers (OEMs), integrators, and component and systems manufacturers to disruptive IT, technical services, and healthcare providers. Our services include strategy and growth, operations and supply chain, organizational effectiveness, digital transformation, restructuring, and marketing and branding support.

In commercial aerospace, we deliver impact for organizations that bring core aerospace products to market as well as providers of aftermarket services. We use our experience in the aviation sector to bring a deep understanding of the strategic needs of the end customer base, driving value for our clients.

Additionally, we work in tandem with our Government and Public Institutions practice, aligning transportation with our public sector expertise.

DEFENSE

Defense corporate consolidation, labor shortages, geopolitical challenges, and budgetary uncertainty are creating significant pressure on defense contractors and agencies. We offer services in strategy and growth, operations and supply chain, organizational effectiveness, and marketing and branding to support all government and commercial participants in the defense ecosystem.

SPACE

We help companies and government agencies in the space economy navigate a complex industry influenced by technological change, regulation, and investment. Innovations like lower launch costs and new satellite architectures have made accessing space more affordable, igniting a new "space race." For decades, we've advised entities across the space value chain and major industry missions.

GOVERNMENT SERVICES

In the government services markets, whether in the dynamic IT sector, complex technical services, or changing healthcare, focusing on the right portfolio of opportunities is essential. Aligning competencies, relationships, and competitive rates demands agility and vigilance. We assist government services contractors in capturing growth and staying competitive.

COMMERCIAL AEROSPACE

The commercial aerospace industry has transformed significantly due to global supply chains, unpredictable production forecasts, and the COVID-19 pandemic. New advancements in engine manufacturing and sustainability, along with rising post-pandemic demand, create both opportunities and challenges. We help aircraft OEMs, equipment manufacturers, and service providers navigate this complex market.
