Energetics, Inc. services

Economic and policy analysis informs the reviews and decisions that improve and strengthen policies, making them more effective at inciting action. Energetics assesses the economic impacts of subsidies and other incentives, impacts of federal programs on deployment of technology, and engages in knowledge-building to support policy recommendations.

High-profile government programs often require coordination across multiple agencies to achieve government priorities. However, working across agency lines can be challenging due to differences in missions, procedures, and cultures. Effective interagency coordination is not only desirable, it is essential to ensure that programs achieve their goals and meet their timelines. Energetics is widely recognized for producing tangible results by helping agencies work together effectively.

Strategic innovation requires a clear line of sight between scientific advancement and real-world business outcomes. Energetics’ technology roadmaps create this line of sight for complex technology development initiatives to ensure focused and integrated efforts from research and development to deployment and full commercialization. Our roadmaps define specific development pathways that help clients maximize the return from their research and development (R&D) investments. When technology development is too complex for an organization or group to accomplish on its own, our roadmaps provide the means to both inspire and align the efforts of diverse stakeholders and partners.

Building effective technology programs requires sound planning and analysis. Today`s managers need well-organized, comprehensive plans to guide technology investments that will maximize returns. Yet traditional planning approaches often fall short in identifying the strategies that will be successful under a variety of potential futures. Recognizing this, Energetics has developed robust planning tools and processes that are designed to integrate complex information and respond quickly to emerging trends and unanticipated changes in technology, markets, and public policy.

Effective communications are essential to successful businesses and government programs. Energetics offers comprehensive, turnkey solutions to our clients` diverse communications needs. We combine communications, writing, graphic design, and web development expertise with the technical knowledge of our engineering staff to consistently create award-winning products that are technically accurate and visually engaging, many of which are part of an overall communications strategy developed to meet our clients` unique needs.

Collaborative working groups and task forces are often volunteer efforts that require a designated party to manage logistics, advise strategic planning, and advance technical communications and outreach efforts. As the executive secretariat for numerous public-private partnership efforts, Energetics helps these groups reach their full potential not only through meeting planning and notetaking, but also charter development, strategic planning, and presentation design. Our research, writing, and analysis help these partnerships to collaboratively develop high-quality reports and outreach materials.

Understanding organizational context is critical to designing an evaluation. Energetics implements a mix of qualitative and quantitative design approaches—using interviews and focus groups, surveys, and statistical data—to gather contextual information that supports comprehensive program evaluation. We use a variety of statistical techniques to analyze data and then translate results into meaningful and actionable conclusions.

Risk analysis recognizes that future uncertainties can affect current management decisions. By understanding the uncertainty of research and development (R&D) project success, stakeholders can make appropriate comparisons among projects and gain a more complete understanding of the complete R&D portfolio. Energetics elicits expert opinions on R&D project success and uses those inputs in stochastic model simulations to provide a distribution of benefit estimates for each R&D project.

Communications materials are more effective when used as part of a strategic program. Energetics works closely with our clients to design a strategic communications plan that produces a range of professional materials that work together to get the right message to the right audience and make it resonate. Our strategic approach and management excellence ensure that our clients achieve their communications objectives.

In today`s internet-driven world, maintaining a presence on the web is crucial to the success of any organization. Websites don`t just offer information; they can serve as collaborative tools, conference managers, resource libraries, and more. Energetics offers expertly designed websites with up-to-date technology that become essential features of our clients` communications strategies.
