Program Management

Think about all it takes to initiate, plan, control, execute, and close out a major program. Whether the program in question involves developing a major new technology, installing a state-of-the-art system, reengineering an enterprise, or implementing new processes and tools to improve quality, cost, or delivery performance, think about what you—a government program manager or your corporate counterpart—will have to do. Then think about how you will get it done.

You will have to consider some, maybe all, of the items on this list:

  • Strategic planning
  • Organizational design and staffing
  • Integration of budget and performance information
  • Integration and control of program cost, schedule, technical, and benefits baselines
  • Program performance measurement
  • Requirements management
  • Acquisition and procurement planning and execution
  • Program evaluations
  • Business case development
  • Partnership-building with other stakeholders in government and in the private sector
  • Communications, outreach, and public education
  • Stakeholder training
  • Program documentation development and management
  • Conference planning, logistics, and management
  • Regulatory review and revision

How will you get everything done? Sometimes all you may need are subject matter experts or a small specialized team to perform an assessment and make recommendations. Other situations may call for needing program management mentoring and skills transfer. Still others may require deployment of a dedicated team to work side-by-side with your staff. ICF International can assemble a specialized staff for limited periods of time or for longer duration engagements. We often work on-site at client facilities. We can also start up dedicated project offices or manage program management support from field offices near the client's site.

ICF International is set up to do all that you need done, when you need it done. We have diverse technical capabilities because our clients need diverse kinds of help. Where technical specialization is essential, we have built service capabilities. Where substantive expertise is required, we have organized ourselves by subject to build substantive depth. Corporate clients find our substantive knowledge and technical expertise to be exactly what they need when charged with administering counterpart or comparable programs.

With headquarters in the Washington, D.C., area, ICF International is ideally located for work with U.S. federal government agencies and with international financing institutions. Yet with nationwide coverage and our familiarity with federal agencies and programs, ICF International is exceptionally advantageous for U.S. state and local agencies playing a role in a program or implementing a matching program of their own.

Here are some examples of how ICF International brings all its capabilities together to support the management of major programs:

  • Program Management Services—ICF International provides comprehensive program management services for U. S. federal, state and local agencies. These services range from the establishment of program objectives to the application and tailoring of best practices, as well as providing on-site management and technical skills to execute all phases of the program effectively.

  • Program Management Advisory Services—ICF International provides a wide range of program management consulting services to public and private sector clients. Our advisory services range from a one-time diagnostic to the practical application of program management best practice processes, techniques, and tools tailored to the client environment.

  • Systems Acquisition Management Services—We can assist clients develop and implement innovative approaches that facilitate the effective and efficient acquisition of hardware, software, systems, or services.

  • Lead-Based Paint Hazard Reduction—Programs led by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD).

  • Energy Efficiency and Energy Market Transformation—Programs such as the California Energy Commission's Cash for Kilowatts Program, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's ENERGY STAR® program, and the Pacific Gas & Electric Company's pilot energy efficiency program for small commercial customers.

  • Greenhouse Gas Emissions Reduction—Programs spearheaded in the United States by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), in Canada by Environment Canada, and in developing countries by the Global Environment Facility and multilateral development organizations such as the World Bank.

  • Chemical Emergency Preparedness and Prevention Programs—Programs administered by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). Analogous programs are implemented by the environment ministries of most western European countries (often in conjunction with community right-to-know programs).

  • Foundation Services—We assist foundations and nonprofit organizations in strategic planning, program implementation, and program evaluation. We help clients define policy and programmatic issues, manage operational and research programs, design and conduct program evaluations, and develop communication strategies so that creative and productive investments can be made.
