Design for Affordability

Booz Allen helps major programs reduce costs by up to 30 percent with a ground-breaking Design for Affordability approach.

After the first Virginia-class nuclear-powered attack submarine (SSN-774) launched at a cost of more than $3.2 billion, the high price raised doubts about the affordability of the 30-plus boat program. The Chief of Naval Operations subsequently set a target cost of $2 billion (2005 dollars) per sub as a condition for increasing production to two boats per year in 2012.

Booz Allen's Design for Affordability approach enabled the Navy to attack Virginia-class costs by showing how the boat's design impacted cost, schedule, performance, and risk. The Navy and its contractors used the analysis to make informed changes in design, schedule, sourcing, and labor to reduce Total Ownership Cost while retaining required mission capabilities.

Design for Affordability enabled the Navy to realize $3.8 billion in savings across the Virginia-class program and to accelerate the construction rate to two boats per year in 2011—one year ahead of schedule. Today, this approach is being used by other DoD programs to meet Total Ownership Cost goals, offering a step-change performance improvement and up to a 30 percent cost reduction.

Preparing The Cyber Workforce

Cybersecurity and innovation require top-flight cyber workers and leaders. Booz Allen helps develop both with a unique approach.

Cyber attacks come from multiple evolving sources and infiltrate networks with complex and dynamic methods. The knowledge and skills of the cyber workforce must be just as deep and dynamic.

To build a strong cyber workforce, organizations must take a comprehensive approach to acquiring, developing, and retaining cyber talent. There are four key paths to that goal: human capital management, leadership development, education and training, and strategic communication and change management. Together, they create an organization-wide cyber workforce for the future.
