Every program is assigned a Program Manager who is responsible for program performance. In all cases, the Program Manager has direct access to the highest levels of company management including the General Manager. The Program Manager acts as the focal point for interface with the customer and facilitates team communication.
Our responsive organizational structure provides for close management of all project activities and agile decision making. This allows us to react quickly to changes or problems and ensures that upper management is fully aware of key project activities. This is accomplished through both informal and formal processes. Our team approach ensures that project team members not only have full authority to accomplish their tasks but also interact with senior company management on a daily basis. This provides a level of communications and visibility that is not found in larger organizations. Additionally, it enables the team members to leverage the wealth of technical and business experience of our senior managers.
