&amp; SOLUTION ARCHITECTURE</u></b></p>
<p>After years of working within and across a variety of
consulting firms and engagements, we realized that rigid methodologies and
shelf ware often hinder problem solving and rapid delivery. Rigid methodology
also limits the creativity and perspectives that smart, experienced consultants
can and should bring to clients.When we founded Octo, we gave consultants the
flexibility to have the greatest impact possible by drawing not only upon a
proven set of tools, but also on their own past experiences and individual
expertise.Our approach frees consultants to deliver the results IT leaders in
government and business need to improve performance and accomplish their
missions. Ultimately, it translates into faster timelines, lower costs,
intelligent solutions, measurable outcomes and happier people.</p>

<p><i>“WHAT MAKES OUR
APPROACH TO CLIENT ENGAGEMENTS, PROBLEM SOLVING, AND STRATEGY DIFFERENT AND
BETTER?</i>”&nbsp; <b><u><a href="http://www.octoconsulting.com/about-us/our-approach">WE ADAPT</a>.</u></b></p>
<p>After years of working within and across a variety of <a href="http://www.octoconsulting.com/">consulting firms</a> and engagements, we
realized that rigid methodologies and shelf ware often hinder problem solving
and rapid delivery. Rigid methodology also limits the creativity and
perspectives that smart, experienced consultants can and should bring to
clients.</p>
<p>When we founded Octo, we gave consultants the flexibility
to have the greatest impact possible by drawing not only upon a proven set of
tools, but also on their own past experiences and individual expertise.</p>
<p>Our approach frees consultants to deliver the results IT
leaders in government and business need to improve performance and accomplish
their missions. Ultimately, it translates into faster timelines, lower costs,
intelligent solutions, measurable outcomes and happier people.</p>
<p><b><u>RESULTS THAT MATTER</u></b></p>
<p><b>EMPOWERED CONSULTANTS</b></p>
<p>The most critical part of Octo's adaptive approach is
empowering our consultants to make the right decisions for our clients. While
we provide them with starting points, frameworks and tools, true success
depends on them using their talents to find the solutions needed to deliver
results.</p>
<p><b>AGILE THINKING</b></p>
<p>Results make us who we are. They drive us. And the quest
for results demands that we examine our clients’ problems from every angle. We
use proven frameworks and agile thinking to locate problems, examine root
causes and deliver the right combination of solutions.</p>
<p><b>INTELLIGENT SOLUTIONS</b></p>
<p>Octo's solutions align with the key interrelated
challenges that our clients face. Each solution area addresses a specific
question:</p>
<p>Enterprise and Solution Architecture: Where am I going
and how do I ensure I am meeting the business/mission objectives?</p>
<p>Enterprise Portfolio Management: What should I invest in
and how do I pay for it?</p>
<p>Acquisition Engineering: Who should help me achieve my
goals and how do I hold my support accountable?</p>
<p>Critical Program Management: Now that I am done with all
the planning, how do I make it all happen?</p>

<p>Technology Solutions: How do I use technology to move my
mission forward?</p>
