Enterprise planning is the strategic engine that unifies vision, execution, and performance—

turning complexity into clarity across programs, portfolios, and operations

Enterprise Consulting

Enterprise consulting is a comprehensive discipline that bridges strategic intent with executable delivery across programs, portfolios, and business units. By integrating scope, cost, schedule, risk, and resource data into a unified framework, it forms the backbone of effective governance, informed decision-making, and organizational control.

More than systems and schedules, enterprise planning serves as a strategic advisory function—connecting executive vision to on-the-ground execution. It supports leadership in defining priorities, aligning stakeholders, and establishing the governance, tools, and processes needed to drive clarity, accountability, and enterprise-wide readiness.

At its core, enterprise planning delivers centralized visibility and control over complex capital programs. It often leverages tools such as Primavera P6, Deltek Acumen, and Microsoft Project Online, alongside portfolio and performance management systems like Oracle Primavera Unifier, EcoSys, or SAP. These platforms enable the development of integrated master schedules, resource forecasting, risk exposure analysis, and earned value tracking across all phases of delivery.

Key planning functions include scenario modeling, critical path analysis, change control, and baseline management—ensuring strategic alignment between budgets, schedules, and operational targets. With structured governance and data-driven oversight, organizations can standardize workflows, surface actionable insights, and connect strategic KPIs to real-time performance.

Whether supporting capital-intensive infrastructure, enterprise IT transformations, or multi-program portfolio execution, enterprise consulting and planning provide both the structure and foresight to enable high-impact outcomes, mitigate risk, and deliver with confidence.

Professional Planning

Professional planning translates strategic goals into executable project controls—providing the structure, foresight, and coordination needed to manage complex delivery environments. By integrating scope, schedule, cost, and risk into a cohesive framework, it ensures clarity, accountability, and performance from planning through completion.

Planners play a critical role in:

  • Integrated Schedule Development: Building and managing logic-driven schedules that reflect scope, sequencing, constraints, and dependencies across teams.

  • Critical Path & Float Management: Identifying time-sensitive activities, managing float, and protecting key milestones.

  • Resource Forecasting: Aligning labor, materials, and equipment with schedule demands to support productivity and cost control.

  • Earned Value & Performance Tracking: Measuring progress using EVM principles to detect variances early and support proactive recovery.

  • Scenario Modeling & Risk Analysis: Running what-if simulations and risk-based forecasts to identify potential delays and test mitigation plans.

  • Governance & Reporting: Providing timely updates, schedule health metrics, and actionable reports to drive informed decisions.

 

Tools like Primavera P6, Microsoft Project, and Deltek Acumen Fuse support schedule development, analytics, and integration with cost and risk systems. Combined with collaborative planning routines, these tools empower organizations to maintain visibility, adapt to change, and deliver with confidence.

Whether supporting capital projects, operational initiatives, or enterprise programs, professional planning is essential to ensuring projects stay aligned, on track, and strategically grounded.

Program Controls

Program and project controls provide the structure, discipline, and insight needed to manage performance across cost, schedule, and risk. As a foundational delivery function, controls ensure that execution remains aligned with scope, strategy, and stakeholder expectations—while enabling proactive decision-making throughout the project lifecycle.

At its core, project controls unite planning, cost, and risk data into a single governance framework. This integration enables organizations to track progress, manage change, and maintain alignment between time, resources, and financial targets. Cost management is not isolated—it is a collaborative function that links labor, materials, and schedule performance to provide a complete picture of resource efficiency and project health.

Controls professionals often work within enterprise platforms such as EcoSys, Oracle Unifier, Deltek Cobra, or SAP, ensuring consistency, auditability, and real-time integration across project data streams. These tools allow for collaborative forecasting, status tracking, and standardized reporting across programs and portfolios.

Whether applied to capital delivery, enterprise transformation, or asset lifecycle initiatives, program and project controls provide the transparency and structure needed to manage complexity, reduce risk, and deliver with confidence.

Key controls capabilities include:

  • Integrated Cost & Resource Management: Tracking budgets, actuals, and forecasts in coordination with time-phased resource plans. This ensures labor and material costs are fully aligned with progress and performance.

  • Schedule Controls: Maintaining schedule baselines, measuring progress, analyzing float and variances, and supporting delay analysis using tools like Primavera P6 or Microsoft Project.

  • Risk & Contingency Management: Identifying and assessing risks, maintaining risk registers, quantifying impact, and managing contingency drawdown based on exposure and mitigation effectiveness.

  • Change Management: Managing change events through structured workflows—assessing impact on both time and cost while preserving control over scope and baseline commitments.

  • Earned Value Management (EVM): Integrating cost and schedule data to assess performance, calculate cost and schedule variances, and provide early visibility into trends and potential deviations.

  • Performance Reporting & Analytics: Delivering real-time dashboards, KPIs, variance reports, and executive summaries to support governance and drive accountability at all levels.
