Treasury Board of Canada, Secretariat (TBS)

Project name: Management Consulting and Strategic Planning

BLC has supplied a management consulting and strategic planning resource to interact with executive management groups of TBS in order to assess current and planned IM/IT infrastructures, frameworks, vertical management, and horizontal management.

BLC's consultant operated at strategic levels and was an integral resource concerning the analysis of IM/IT structures for the "Whole-Of-Government." with an emphasis on providing multi-level maturity models to assist in the progression from ad-hoc states to mature business levels.

Specifically, our resource provided the following services:

	Analysis and documentation of how to strengthen the government's leadership in respect to horizontal management through the use of world class maturity models, supporting best practices, quality systems, critical processes, and control objectives,
	Advice and identification of the maturity models, best practices, quality systems, critical processes, and control objectives to be used, including: the Capability Maturity Model Integration (CMMI), ISO 9000, COBIT, Malcolm Baldrige Criteria, and ITIL,
	Introduction of a master system wide maturity model, and associated sub-models that would provide opportunities for improving the efficiency of government information frameworks. These frameworks would be the next generation e-Government strategies which would enable government departments to accommodate the rapid pace of information management and technological change,
	Methodologies to allow the elimination of extraneous levels of government management,
	Set stages for continuous improvement throughout all government departments.
