Leveraging Technology To Improve Program Management In The Defense Industry

The AlixPartners A&D Minute

Back to basics on program management, the latest AlixPartners point of view on program management, was published in October 2023. Since then, the geopolitical landscape has shifted significantly. Conflict permeates the Middle East, the war in Ukraine has intensified, and the risk of conflict in Asia Pacific remains elevated. In this environment, warfighters increasingly rely on the defense industrial base.

Getting the right weapon system to the right place at the right time is critical. The importance of defense program management—a competency we outlined in great detail in October 2023—remains paramount. Much has changed since then, including further degradation of Estimate at Completion (EAC) results, amplifying the need for a more focused look at the topic.
