SIN 874-1: INTEGRATED CONSULTING SERVICES

Consulting Services—Services may include providing expert advice, assistance, guidance or counseling in support of agencies' mission oriented business functions. This may include studies, analyses and reports documenting any proposed developmental, consultative or implementation efforts. Examples of consultation include but are not limited to: strategic, business and action planning; high performance work; process and productivity improvement;

systems alignment; leadership systems; organizational assessments; cycle time;

performance measures and indicators; program audits, evaluations, and customized training.

KPMG's Philosophy of Advisory Services—KPMG has developed an effective advisory services methodology in order to help support MOBIS efforts within the federal government. KPMG understands that success on MOBIS work requires the contractor to work with the client and within the client's environment, and to tap into the client's knowledge base. Furthermore, since MOBIS work is so often part of a larger process of improvement, the advisor needs to maintain both a firm sense of direction and the flexibility to change as the engagement develops.

Additionally, MOBIS engagements usually require a multidisciplinary team to perform the broad tasks needed to improve organizations. KPMG can provide such a team because we have worked on many advisory services engagements providing MOBIS-type services, such as our work with the Department of Housing and Urban Development's Real Estate Assessment Center and the Naval Audit Service. Below we present a sampling of our advisory services. We briefly describe how the services contribute to MOBIS and the key steps in KPMG's approach. New approaches will be developed, or current approaches modified, to best serve our clients where engagements do not lend themselves to our standard methodology.

Program Audits and Evaluations—Judges program results through the use of a tailored, validated audit approach used by KPMG to perform independent assessments. Our program audits comply with the standards established by Government Auditing Standards, also commonly known as the Yellow Book.

Risk Assessments—Risk is inherent in operating a business or running a program. Management has to determine how much risk is acceptable and create a control structure to keep those risks within appropriate limits. Our risk assessment methodology is designed to assist management in making these determinations. The risk assessment process begins by defining business objectives and determining how they are enabled by managerial strategies. We link business objectives to the core processes of the organization, and determine business risk. Business risk is managed by the internal control environment put in place within the organization. The risk assessment process we follow is depicted in the following graphic, and results in defining the level of risk associated with a business objective, given the type of controls in place to manage the risk and the effectiveness of those controls.

Performance Measurement—Assesses whether organizational resources are economically and efficiently applied and determines the degree to which the intended results of the agency, program, or activities are being met. Once understood, an agency can begin the process of realignment and applying resources to meet its organizational mission. To accomplish this in government, KPMG utilizes this approach:

GSA MOBIS Schedule: GS-10F-0351L 6

Organizational Assessments—Assesses the informal and formal relationships within an organization in order to understand how business is conducted. Our diagnostic tools focus on key business issues and assess current organizational dynamics and communications, in order to expose the day-to-day reality of the agency's workings. This understanding is a fundamental requirement for MOBIS because it exposes the true communication patterns within the organization, thus allowing for effective transformation planning.

Change Management—KPMG firmly believes that by embracing change, and the opportunities inherent in any major change, management can prevent or minimize problems, thus never reaching a crisis during the change. Therefore, the advisor will assist management in controlling resistance to the change and in building a positive consensus in favor of change. Efforts to reduce resistance and build the organization during the implementation of the improvement efforts can lead to a successful transformation.

Benchmarking—Benchmarking can assist an organization to identify areas for improvement as well as the "Best Practices" that they may need to adopt from other organizations. Benchmarking is done by setting up a process of continual measurement and comparison of an organization's services, products, and operations against its competitors as well as the best organizations outside its industry. The overall goal of benchmarking is for the process of measurement and comparison to lead to the implementation of "Best Practices" and other improved processes so as to reduce costs and improve the quality of services and products.

Activity-Based Management (ABM)—Many organizations have a difficult time measuring the full cost of providing a service or delivering a product. Activity- Based Management (ABM) helps management by setting up a system designed to measure the full costs of providing products and services. Because ABM allows management to understand the real costs of providing products and services, it gives management the knowledge needed in order to make reliable decisions. ABM, by providing accurate and timely information for managers, is important to MOBIS efforts because it is a way for managers to have a solid base from which to make organizational improvement or outsourcing decisions.

SIN 874-7: INTEGRATED BUSINESS PROGRAM SUPPORT

SERVICES

Program Integration and Project Management Services—include management or integration of programs and projects to include, but not limited to: program management, program oversight, project management and program integration of a limited duration. A variety of functions may be utilized to support program integration or project management tasks.

KPMG's Philosophy of Project Management—KPMG's project management methodology is designed to provide comprehensive guidelines for the effective management and administration of most projects, while retaining sufficient flexibility to meet the specific needs of individual projects and project managers.

Our main objective is to help minimize risk and uncertainties by facilitating continuous client involvement, establishing management controls and procedures, and defining standard processes and techniques that can be validly applied to many types of projects.

KPMG employs a two-tiered approach to program management, illustrated below. Program management is the coordination and management of multiple projects to achieve strategic program benefits. Project management, in contrast, is the day-to-day directing and controlling of organizational resources to complete specific project goals and objectives. Both support MOBIS efforts by helping to create management excellence and performance increases on projects and programs.

KPMG has broad experience assisting the federal government with improving the administration, management, and oversight of their programs and projects.

KPMG's experience preparing analytical studies and providing recommendations to various government clients directly relates to our MOBIS program work. KPMG has also provided performance assessments for federal agencies related to departmental streamlining initiatives in response to the GRPA and reinventing government initiatives.

Below we discuss the most important action steps in both project and program management.

Define the managing principles. (Program and Project Management) We work with agency management to define the program or project's scope, place boundaries around the project, identify a high-level schedule, and identify the extent of the project team's involvement. This helps to ensure that the client and the project team have the same understanding of project expectations and address potential problems in advance.

GSA MOBIS Schedule: GS-10F-0351L 8

Assemble the team structure and staffing profile. (Program and Project Management) Another objective of the project definition phase is to assemble and structure an appropriate team. Since project management involves the contractor working within the client's organizational structure, there exists a need for the client and contractor to work as one team. KPMG's subject matter, functional, and client service professionals will work with the client's staff, to develop a "one team" approach to managing and planning the project.

Employ a formal lifecycle methodology. (Project Management) Just as the program is broken down into projects, the formal lifecycle methodology breaks down the project into smaller units of work (phases, activities, and tasks) where risk management and change management concerns can be addressed on a controllable scale.

Utilize well-established and structured project management techniques.

(Project Management) The ultimate product of the Project Planning phase is to produce a detailed work plan, using the lifecycle methodology and staffing plan.

Standard planning steps and guidelines are established in order to develop consistent plans across teams.

Employ policies and procedures for management controls. (Program and Project Management) The formal lifecycle methodology simplifies the planning process by subdividing major work efforts into smaller units of work, but the same management controls must be in place for all levels of the project's management.

The previously developed management plans are implemented and used to effectively manage the day-today activities of the project. Project management then becomes an iterative process that continually measures the current position and future direction of the project against the agreed-upon plan. As a result, the project manager is able to provide an objective measure of project quality and progress.

Gradually disband project organization. (Project Management) The objective of the project close phase is to disband the project organization and environment in an organized manner once all objectives have been achieved and all detailed work plan tasks are complete. The project closing process is generally phased over a period of time, rather than culminating in a single event. The client staff must understand and support the project closing process in order to reduce final project implementation risks. The tasks defined in this phase are generally applicable to all projects. However, the project manager needs to consider the complexity and size of the project, characteristics of the organization, and organizational change when developing a project closing approach. In addition, the lifecycle methodology may reference specific "post-implementation" tasks to be addressed by the project team.
