GOVERNMENT AGENCIES

Our work in this area has had a major impact on strategic planning, policy formation and budgeting in government agencies domestically and internationally.

United States Air Force (USAF)
For over a decade, Toffler Associates has advised four-star and other USAF leadership on a range of challenges critical to the organization's future. Highlights of our work include:

Identifying what capabilities the USAF needed to develop and acquire in order to contribute effectively in future combat operations in urban and other complex environments. As recent and ongoing conflicts in Iraq, Afghanistan, and elsewhere have since shown, these capabilities are an increasingly critical part of what the Air Force does.

Finding ways to improve the efficiency of support-related functions (e.g. commissary operations, facilities maintenance) on bases worldwide. Our recommendations enabled the USAF to provide these important functions using fewer people and at lower costs.

Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA) and the Knowledge Lab
Toffler Associates provides critical strategy and execution support to the DIA Knowledge Lab, a novel and important organization that tests and then implements innovative approaches for improving knowledge sharing and collaboration among the agency's analysts and other professionals. Toffler Associates has been instrumental in such Knowledge Lab initiatives as Crossing Boundaries and Full Spectrum Analysis. Our work is not just fostering new collection and analysis approaches within the agency. We are helping to achieve real change to make America’s intelligence capabilities more effective.

U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA)
Toffler Associates helped the FDA define what skills and talents the agency will need in its workforce of the future to protect public health as new technologies, laws, globalization and other forces shape our nation's medical system and food supply. Our recommendations have helped the agency attract and acquire employees with these skills and fostered new and innovative ways of retaining and developing the FDA workforce.

Department of Homeland Security (DHS)
For our ongoing engagement with the DHS, Toffler Associates is recommending strategies for improving the protection of the nation's infrastructure. The results of the study are expected to influence DHS planning, budgeting and programming, and will shape critical infrastructure investment planning decisions at all levels of government and throughout the private sector.

Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI)
Among our many engagements with the FBI, Toffler Associates assisted the agency's senior leadership in standing up the Directorate of Intelligence (DI), a new branch that effectively manages all FBI intelligence activities. Our work, which included crafting two reports for President George W. Bush on how the DI is producing its expected outcomes, received praise from the director of the FBI.

NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL)
The JPL asked Toffler Associates to determine how its technologies could help other government agencies address their needs and perform their missions more effectively. We identified specific programs and agencies that would benefit from using JPL-developed technologies, then helped Lab leaders broker relationships with these agencies and facilitate their working together. As a result of our work, JPL has new customers for its technology and has delivered products that are helping agencies the Department of Defense, Federal Emergency Management Agency and others accomplish their mission-critical objectives.
