Program Capture, PMO and Supply-Chain Strategy for EU & US Teams

What we do

We help A&D leaders plan and win programs and execute reliably. Our senior, independent team delivers clear strategy and disciplined execution across five focus areas:

  • Program Capture & Portfolio Strategy — opportunity sizing, decision-maker map, win themes, bid/no-bid gates.

  • PMO & Governance — RACI, cadences, KPIs, escalation; operating dashboards your teams can run.

  • Supply-Chain Risk & Qualification — risk files for critical items, dual-source plans, qualification timelines.

  • Cost-Out & Margin Protection — make/buy, standardisation, value engineering, measurable benefits.

  • Executive Decision Support — options with trade-offs and a 90-day action plan.


How we work and what you receive

Approach:

  1. Intro call (30 min) to frame objectives, constraints and stakeholders.

  2. Rapid discovery (1–2 weeks) with essential data and targeted interviews.

  3. Decision pack with a recommended course, impacts and owners; followed by an execution cadence (PMO/war-room, KPIs, bi-weekly reviews).

Tangible outputs:

  • Capture plan (targets, win themes, discriminators, campaign timeline).

  • PMO playbook (RACI, cadences, KPIs, reporting templates).

  • Supply-chain risk file (risks, mitigations, owners, dates).

  • Cost-out roadmap (initiatives with value, risk, timing, owners).

  • Executive memo (decision, Day-1/30/90 actions) and a live dashboard ready for adoption.

Service levels: urgent notes in 48–72h; structured sprints in 2–6 weeks.
Coverage: EU & US. Delivery: senior-only, independent, confidential.
