Research

OAI uses a social research model that is very effective in identifying objective conditions and needs of any community--block-by-block; using comprehensive data and a unique model of analysis--including cross-fertilization design and network systems analysis. University, college, and community college social science departments should be particularly interested, since those institutions directly affect the quality of life of the communities in which they operate.

Strategic Partnering/Brokerage

As part of a nationwide team of entrepreneurs, OAI helps facilitate securing contracts with federal, state, and local governments including risk management, information communications technology use, construction, facilities maintenance, and more. Our team also includes proven event planners, a speakers bureau, international business developers, anti-terrorism experts, former high-ranking government officials and much more.

Organizational and Business Assessment

Strategic planning and implementation are necessary to fulfill stated an entity's mission, goals and objectives. Our method of assessment is comprehensive yet unobtrusive to determine what it is to be achieved, how, when and with what resources--efficiently and effectively. The process is a combined incremental/systems approach including staff self-evaluation with a comprehensive assessment tool.
