High Impact and Quality of our Services
For over 25 years, TFI has provided top quality technology management, strategy, and forecasting services to a number of government agencies, as well as a wide variety of commercial and academic organizations. In many cases, our work has involved extremely sensitive subject areas. This is especially true for projects conducted for defense and security agencies. TFI's extensive experience and future focus helps organizations select and apply the techniques that are most appropriate for a given requirement, and effectively use these different techniques in concert to achieve a higher quality decision and a futures focus implementation.
TFI's organizational structure allows us to provide superior services in a targeted, timely, and cost-effective manner. Our leadership and staff each has more than 20 years of practical business experience. Backed by an outstanding team of professional associates and support personnel, TFI is able to offer exceptional assistance in meeting our government clients' needs.
Strong Futures Focus
Technology, research, and science plans need to be based in the future. These plans set the urgency and direction for all initiatives an agency undertakes. Without a solid plan and roadmap, no agency can realize its mission. At TFI, we have a proven track record in developing future focused, actionable plans that advance the goals and visions of the government agencies we work with.
The ever-increasing rate of technical advance means your organization must be able to look beyond current technologies to the next generation, and to the generation that follows. This ability of seeing beyond the horizon permits smooth transitions from the present to the near future to the more distant future. TFI can assist you in both discerning future trends and events and operating successfully in an ever more turbulent and demanding future. We are very successful at helping our government clients to:
- Link science and technology to capabilities and core competencies.
- Transfer the research undertaken.
- Deliver high-quality products and services on time and within budget.
- Extend their science, technology, and planning staff to look further out into the future.
- Identify innovative answers to their mission challenges.
TFI's ability to serve its government clients effectively and economically is enhanced by its certification as an official Management, Organization, and Business Improvement Service (MOBIS) provider, as well as its continuing relationships with many existing government contractors.
Broad-Based Insight About Activity Outside the Government
Given the federal government's increasing interest in using commercial off-the-shelf products, TFI's client base includes a wide range of commercial and academic organizations that can be of special value to government agencies. Not only does TFI have continuing relationships with such non-government groups, but we are also familiar with the culture and operating procedures of such organizations. This insight allows TFI to effectively project the nature, timing, and implications of technical advances in non-government organizations. This ability helps our government clients assess how developments in private industry can be integrated with government projects and needs.
