Best Practice: Capital Planning and Investment Control

Capital Planning and Investment Control (CPIC) is the Federal Government's primary process for making investment decisions, assessing investment process effectiveness, and refining investment related policies and procedures in IT selection as mandated by the Clinger-Cohen Act of 1996.

The CPIC approach calls for agencies to establish a portfolio planning process that:

• Optimizes investment decisions
• Minimizes risks
• Ensures investments align with agency missions

Key to this portfolio planning methodology is the prioritization of potential investments. Expert Choice's software and methodology have been identified as a best practice by many Federal agencies for the prioritization and selection of investments.

Join Expert Choice for this recorded webinar and learn how to:

• Minimize mistakes; focus on mission benefits; create a defendable process
• Evaluate and prioritize the objectives of your department using a transparent process
• Collaborate among career executives, political appointees, and subject matter experts across agencies and geographies
• Make justifiable, auditable decisions quickly and move on to execution with confidence

Investment Decision Best Practice - Analysis of Alternatives

Guest Speaker: John Roerty - Associate, Booz Allen Hamilton for a FREE webinar on Analysis of Alternatives.

Required in some organizations, beneficial to all, the Analysis of Alternatives is a beneficial process for any group to ensure that multiple options have been systematically reviewed prior to making costly investment decisions. By comparing among reasonable, actionable alternatives, based on well defined objectives, end selections are greatly improved. And with just a little experience, you will find the cost of making a selection and the time to implementation both decline.

Key topics include:
• Identifying and involving appropriate stakeholders
• Properly defining and socializing objectives (criteria)
• Prioritizing among all-inclusive yet unique capabilities
• Rating capabilities
• Wrapping up and confirming results

In addition to making better decisions, following the methodology discussed in this webinar, the tradeoffs and justification of a decision becomes more apparent, driving alignment and buy-in of the final selection.
