Philosophy
Echelon is managed under the philosophy that there are three pillars necessary to delivering the premium services we've become known for and meeting the critical demands of quality, cost and schedule requirements.
Echelon has begun assessing two methodologies for maturity based upon industry accepted best practices. They are:
People
At Echelon, we believe our most important asset is our people. Our reputation has been built on providing high quality consultants to our clients. Every consultant has a clear, defined role that adds value for our customer. The key to maintaining our strong employee base is recruiting experienced people and continually refining their skills and knowledge. Our recruiting requirements are stringent, and our expectations are even higher.Process
The maturity of any organization is defined by its processes. Echelon has leveraged the experience of our staff to develop repeatable, yet flexible processes. We recognize that every client engagement is different, and there is no “cookie-cutter” approach that guarantees success. Our methodologies provide a consistent foundation while our team's experience allows it to adapt to the unique requirements of each engagement.Echelon has begun assessing two methodologies for maturity based upon industry accepted best practices. They are:
Organizational Project Management Maturity Model (OPM3) – Developed by the Project Management Institute (PMI), the OMP3 is designed to assess the maturity of an organization's project and portfolio management methodologies
Capability Maturity Model Integration (CMMI) – Developed by the Software Engineering Institute at Carnegie-Melon (SEI), the CMMI was designed to address the level of control and planning of software development projects.
After completing the assessment of our methodologies against these models, Bucher + Christian will be implementing process improvement efforts to ensure we continually mature as an organization.
