The demand for a competitive edge has never been greater. Becoming recognized as "best-in-class" usually requires more effective management of operations and resources — such as increasing process efficiency, upgrading technology, or even outsourcing certain functions.

Red Oak Consulting helps organizations reach peak performance by combining business strategy with a deep understanding of human and organizational behavior. We begin every assignment by gathering information. Our experts take into account your leadership personalities, resource challenges, labor relations, economic vitality of your customer base, infrastructure replacement needs, politics and organizational structure — all key factors for selecting the business model to improve or sustain high performance.

From planning through implementation, we help your organization set strategic directions to move from where you are today to where you want to be in the future. By assessing your organization's baseline performance and unique culture, we design and deliver solutions to the most pressing business challenges.

Our specialists bring proven management, engineering and science experience to help you get the most value from your operations and maintenance activities by controlling costs and efficiently allocating and managing resources. And, if outsourcing of certain functions makes more sense, our experts in public-private transactions can develop customized contracts and performance requirements that enable you to meet your goals and preserve your assets.

We have developed successful public-private transactions exceeding $10 billion in value, and our procurement expertise has produced life cycle cost savings for municipalities and utilities in the range of 10 to 40 percent compared to the cost of traditional procurement methods.
