Enabling change and delivering value - PA's work in US Defense

Challenges for defense organizations have never been greater. Increased demand for integrated military power coupled with shifts in the international security environment have led to fundamental rethinking of needs and priorities that require change in a time of tightening budgets. Government and industry need rigorous and responsive approaches to strategy and execution, so that rapid, efficient, and balanced decisions deliver sustained value. It is crucial that strategic advice and implementation of change is guided by in-depth sector knowledge, and delivers clear and immediate value.

PA has worked with the defense community for over 60 years, in key areas of policy, strategy and change implementation. We have proven experience with both government and contractor organizations; we have proven capabilities and a track record of success. Our team works with leaders of major programs, government agencies and leading defense contractors to address the most complex problems. Our strategic analysis, including system dynamics modeling, captures the complex, interconnected cause-and-effect relationships that drive behavior in many real world systems, enabling our clients to identify key drivers of performance and leverage points to improve decisions and guide new strategies.
