Services

The Lever Group can assist you with all facets of your Capital Planning and Investment Control (CPIC) Process. We focus on developing replicable and effective processes to ensure that your agency’s CPIC Process is up-to-date and correctly implemented. Our extensive experience with the CPIC Process allows us to offer the knowledge and skills necessary to address your project management concerns.

The Lever Group Approach

To assist your agency, The Lever Group uses a comprehensive approach to identify areas for improvement in your CPIC Process.

The unique feature of The Lever Group approach is the attention paid to the three phases of an investment--Select, Control, and Evaluate--that are critical to your investments success. We believe that the CPIC Process is a holistic methodology in which all three phases should be integrated along a continuum for the total life cycle of the investment.

During the Select Phase, The Lever Group focuses on developing a strong business case for your investment. The Lever Group develops a business case by focusing on interpreting and meeting all OMB requirements. A strong business case also simplifies project management throughout the investment’s life cycle.

During the Control Phase, The Lever Group provides active project management. We provide Earned Value Management and project tracking as well as risk management to ensure that the project is completed on time and on budget.

Finally, during the Evaluate Phase, we work with project managers to conduct Post Implementation Reviews (PIRs) and operational analyses to continually assess the project’s performance.

By focusing on all three phases, project managers can implement their current projects more effectively and also learn from their experiences. Those lessons learned can then be applied to future projects.

The Lever Group’s experience also enables us to lead your agency through the process of creating all the supporting documentation required for the OMB Exhibit 300 submission.

The Lever Group’s “Quick-Start” Approach to the CPIC Process will provide you and your team the tools to better plan and implement any initiative.
