Enterprisewide Risk Management Strategies for Public and Private Infrastructure

Our nation’s infrastructure requires fundamental, data-driven decision-making and risk-based approaches that lead to cost-effective investments and management of critical assets. We collaborate with owners to help them plan, implement, and monitor proven infrastructure solutions to maximize and optimize asset performance.

Our enterprise risk management (ERM) program approach helps organizations — federal, state, and local governments, as well as private companies — make intelligent asset decisions by translating programmatic and operations challenges into innovative opportunities. We bring collaboration and an owner’s perspective to solutions that improve resilience and deliver excellence, as promised, whether it’s:

Creating financing strategies for capital investment.
Capital program development.
Managing capital assets.
Transforming the capital asset management environment.
Implementing an ERM framework.
Planning for climate adaptation.
Managing risk.

Capital Program Planning

Capital improvement planning is a strategic imperative in today’s rapidly evolving landscape. Planning, funding, procuring, and implementing sustainable infrastructure solutions requires a clear understanding of long-term goals and operational requirements to drive innovative solutions. A capital improvement plan (CIP) must align with organizational goals, optimize investment, and meet shifting regulatory requirements to maximize effectiveness. We embrace an owner’s perspective and collaborate with stakeholders in developing implementable CIPs that propel agencies forward.

Enterprise Asset Management

Infrastructure assets are pivotal in achieving an organization’s mission, making enterprise asset management (EAM) crucial to mission success. From optimizing asset lifecycles to maintaining asset functionalities, aligning EAM with organizational needs offers strategic advantages. Using a holistic approach, transportation and utilities agencies must consider major infrastructure EAM needs as strategic priorities. Our comprehensive process begins with developing lifecycle strategies, producing maintenance plans, and optimizing the CIP to support operational needs.
