Homeland Security
Since its creation, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has shouldered the burden of determining how the United States will prevent and protect against threats and hazards and respond and recover from acts of terrorism, natural disasters and other emergencies.
DHS has been asked to perform their mission in a difficult multi-agency environment and under the uncertainty of continually evolving organizational structures, roles and responsibilities.
There are numerous ambitious directives in place and more on the way, and the Homeland security stakeholder communities at the federal, state, and local levels are at incredibly vast numbers.
The public and media are continually scrutinizing how resources are used and how much progress has been made since 9/11, adding additional pressure to every decision.
DHS headquarters, agencies and advisory boards can adopt the Decision Lens solutions to support recommendations and decision making at all levels of government.
Using the Decision Lens solutions reduces the amount of time and effort it takes to arrive at a decision, increases the ability to explain how it was derived and allows for easy adjustment as threats and priorities change.
Key decision areas in which Decision Lens concentrates in the Homeland Security community include:
- All-hazard capabilities planning
- Risk analysis and management
- Homeland Security Presidential Directives (HSPDs)
- Grant allocation and utilization
- Interoperability
- Human capital management
- Organizational transformation
