A gap analysis is performed, factoring in current IRTM capabilities versus capabilities required to achieve the desired outcomes, then an actionable plan is developed collaboratively with InfoTech advisors and FWS IRTM leadership. Additional capabilities include, but are not limited to: ¿ Research publications that are practical and built to execute on projects. ¿ A Research Taxonomy that is connected and provides comprehensive coverage. ¿ Content format that is visual and built upon framework-driven content. ¿ Analyst calls structured to be a series of calls to complete key initiatives. ¿ Executive services that are outcome driven based upon personalized relationships. ¿ Unique Concierge Services are high-impact, one-day consulting engagements. ¿ Benchmarking services that are powerful diagnostic tools based on real data and included within memberships.
