Successful Federal programs start with stakeholder engagement.

To ensure the efficient and effective implementation of strategic initiatives, government agencies need program management support they can trust.

The key to success for agencies that support federal funding opportunities like grants and cooperative agreements is understanding the grants management process.

The Corner Alliance consulting approach is designed to engage stakeholders at every opportunity and maximize effectiveness to advance organizational goals. By gathering and incorporating feedback from internal and external stakeholders, our consultants are able to develop a strategic customer experience strategy and communications plan that is reflective of diverse perspectives while aligning with the mission, values, and goals of the sponsoring organization.

Agencies are often confronted with multiple challenges when transitioning solutions, as transition considerations are frequently secondary in the R&D process. Overcoming these challenges involves preparing ahead of time, leveraging the best and brightest, and constantly re-evaluating to stay ahead of potential roadblocks.

Agencies miss the mark on successful solutions when they do not integrate stakeholders into every step of the research and development (R&D) process. These steps include stakeholder needs collection, gap analysis and solution scouting, solution development, testing and validation, and transition to stakeholders.

Government science and technology organizations face intense pressure to deliver game changing research and development (R&D) results to their customers to maximize emerging technology capabilities while demonstrating return on investment (ROI). To meet this demand, government agencies are quick to elicit needs from stakeholder portfolios and translate those into tangible solutions. While this can lead to early wins, it also has unintended consequences to include partial or overlapping solutions.

Trends in format and brevity are reshaping the future of communications. This calls for new levels of strategic creativity where the research and development (R&D) findings of our clients must be simplified into concise, quick, and compelling stories that keep the viewer’s attention and build brand awareness.
