Strategy

Today, businesses are challenged to keep up with advancing technology, compliance standards, and competitive pressure move quickly. Red Pen helps define key objectives, devise achievable road maps, and execute those road maps through delivery and transition. Our strategy services include:

End to End Program Assessment
Upstream, midstream, and downstream, we dissect every component of your program to ensure it drives your business needs. We learn, document, assess, communicate, and advise.

Program Design, Architecting, and Planning
We start by listening and understanding your vision. Then we get to know your business. Your strengths, advantages, people, systems, landscape, culture, platforms, skill sets, data, opportunities--everything that defines your company. We then devise a workable plan for delivery, one that is flexible and scalable

Cost Containment
Most programs start small and grow rapidly with business success, adding components as needed to support your changing landscape. With the added size and complexity usually comes rising costs. We help identify areas of opportunity and effective solutions to lower your total cost of operations

Solution Selection
What solution is best for you? What criteria affects your decision? What is the best way to evaluate solution options? How instructive should RFPs be? We partner with you to define measurable criteria, craft RFPs, manage vendor engagement, and drive consensus.

Outsource vs Inhouse
The promise of outsourcing is alluring: Reduced costs, focused expertise, and heightened resource coverage. The options for outsourcing have vastly improved over the years. Businesses can now outsource technology development, application configuration and maintenance, data capture tasks, and program administration (including customer service issue resolution). We help determine which, if any of these will actually benefit your business or prove more problematic over time.

  • Red Pen knows how to deliver programs, efficiently and effectively. We can also dive into a program that is struggling and turn it into a successful operation. Our track record for doing so is unparalleled.
