Project Advisory Services
Alternative Financing, Including Public Private Partnerships (P3s)
Alternative financing solutions can support resource optimization aligned with individual initiatives within a larger investment obligation and strategy.
A core specialty of the firm involves navigating innovative funding models. Our team has led strategy and execution for premier P3 projects, helping clients leverage private investment for public infrastructure.
Comprehensive Delivery Management from Proposal to Completion
This service ensures project success through the entire lifecycle, preventing the vision-execution gap and ensuring that the promises made during the proposal stage are technically and financially feasible during construction or implementation, maintaining the thread of intent until completion.
SSG commits to providing quantifiable results by bridging the gap between initial planning/proposals and final execution, ensuring that the vision is translated into actionable outcomes.
Large-Scale Program Management
The complexities of large-scale program management require clear communications, accountability, and synchronization. In massive initiatives, small inefficiencies in one area compound into catastrophic delays in another. Program management provides a single point of truth to ensure all moving parts are aligned.
SSG provides oversight for multi-million-dollar initiatives, such as infrastructure projects and organizational transformations. Our team focuses on delivering established goals through integrated financial and operational know-how.
Procurement Approaches and Selection Support
Risk mitigation and value optimization are key. In the public sector, proper procurement prevents legal challenges and ensures optimized value and maximum assurance rather than just accepting the lowest bid, which may lead to hidden costs later.
SSG advises on the best methods for acquiring goods and services, particularly for complex public projects. SSG evaluates alternative procurement and delivery options to find the most effective solution for specific campus or infrastructure needs.
Program Assessment: Facilities Management
This assessment evaluates an organization’s operations and physical infrastructure to ensure that its facilities remain an asset rather than a liability.
SSG evaluates existing facility operations—including horizontal and vertical infrastructure—to optimize performance and assesses horizontal and vertical facilities to ensure they meet long-term operational and budget requirements.
Public Financing Solutions
Choosing the right financing approach begins with understanding what the project needs to accomplish and how it can be funded. SSG helps clients assess whether public financing is a suitable option and identify the financial considerations that should guide the process.
SSG can help clients understand the financial needs of a project and evaluate potential sources of financing. We review the project’s goals and financial considerations to determine what approaches may be appropriate.
Risk Allocation and Processes
This service supports financial resilience. By identifying who is best equipped to handle a specific risk, an organization prevents a single unforeseen event from halting or bankrupting the project.
As part of SSG’s capital improvement and project control services, we identify and allocate risks among project partners. This involves modeling, forecasting, and scenario planning to minimize financial and operational exposure throughout the project's duration.
Scope, Schedule, Budget Analysis, Tools & System Development
Effectively defining, developing, and maintaining these program elements early gives teams a stronger foundation for planning resources, making decisions, and preparing for implementation, ensuring programs are executed to achieve intended outcomes, on time and within budget.
SSG helps organizations improve program delivery by providing scope definition, schedule analysis, budget oversight, and project control systems that support informed decision-making and effective execution.
Staffing and Stakeholder Management
Projects often fail because of social or political friction. Managing stakeholders early builds the social license to operate, ensuring support for an initiative’s success.
SSG specializes in aligning diverse interests among government, business, and community groups. Our team provides direct and supplemental engagement, managing staff transitions and stakeholder expectations to ensure consensus on high-stakes initiatives.
