Assess Business Viability

Evaluate current staff’s competencies, locations, needs, SWOTs, and the budgetary impacts of projected necessary resource shifts and the viability of the abilities to absorb such.
• Proactively determine critical mass points of operations and the impacts of such.
•  Continual business viability assessments and future path option approach recommendations based on findings.

Depending on the project scope, some functional support elements may be able to be done remotely. However, many will not be able to be adequately supported in the initial phases of analysis remotely.

Methods include:

• One-on-one and group meetings.
• Customer, client, partner and vendor engagements.
• Physical review of tools, resources, procedures, protocols, and processes.
• Evaluation of physical conditions in work environments.
• Online surveys.
