Professional Placement and Staffing

Unlike many general recruiters, our staff have spent time working in the industry segments we serve, so they understand your specific recruiting needs. Our searches focus on both job seekers and on the hidden pool of talent that may not be actively seeking a new position, but would be ideal for your situation. We identify skilled individuals for permanent and temporary positions ranging from specialists to executives.

Human resources departments and hiring personnel use Red Sky Consulting for several reasons:

• Industry experience – Our recruiters have had “real-world” experience, so they can quickly grasp the specific requirements and nuances required for open positions.

Project Management and PMO

Red Sky Consulting’s Project Management and Program Management Office (PMO) service offerings provide organizations with established enterprise standards that effectively combine elements of project, change, knowledge and quality management into a cohesive team effort to achieve the expected results. Our experience with a variety of large-scale projects reduces risk by using proven methods to help organizations reach their project goals.

Red Sky Consulting assists clients with the challenges of combining project requirements with the key components of change, knowledge and quality management into a cohesive team effort. We do this in several ways:

• Project Management - We provide experienced personnel to focus on the execution of specific tasks and deliverables that contribute to the overall program.
• Program Management Office - We establish a PMO that acts as a conductor helping to guide project managers in the delivery of their projects by integrating the various steps and resources.
• Project Assessment - If the organization already has on-going projects, we help measure and quantify risks to the project’s success, and recommend actions that will mitigate these dangers.

 

IT Services Management

Red Sky Consulting’s IT Service Management uses industry standard metrics, IT process leading practices, and Red Sky Consulting’s project accelerators to assess the IT service support and delivery environment. Based on this analysis, we recommend tactical steps for process improvement and cost optimization that can increase efficiency and reduce operating costs.

Our process for improving IT Service Management has four key components:

• Define an IT Services and Cost Baseline – We evaluate an organization’s service levels, IT spend rate, platforms supported, performance and availability statistics, and the current level of IT service delivery and support compliance to build a current cost and services model.
• Analyze Financial Data – We compare the IT organization’s current baseline environment both to peer groups and to an industry-specific reference model that encompasses a client’s requirements and strategies. We can also rank the IT organization’s process maturity using the IT Service CMM or the process maturity model for IT organizations.
• Develop the Business Case – We identify the processes and practices that can result in cost-savings and detail the business steps necessary to implement service improvements
• Implement Service Improvements – We provide the resources necessary to implement the improvements.
