Questions

Frequently asked questions

What does SIC do?

Strategic Innovations Consulting is a boutique advisory and delivery firm. We lead the programs that have to work on day one, in healthcare information technology and state and local government, and we hold the governance, change management, and specialized talent those programs need.

Which sectors do you work in?

Healthcare information technology and state and local government. Within those, our work concentrates on EHR and clinical systems, enterprise imaging, municipal ERP and finance platforms, and multi-site implementations.

Who leads an engagement?

An experienced professional selected for that specific program. SIC stays accountable for the client relationship and the delivery standard throughout, and brings in additional specialists from its wider network when the program needs them.

How is SIC different from a staffing firm?

A staffing firm fills roles. We take accountability for delivery, holding governance, change, and talent together, and we staff by selection rather than availability. Where we provide specialized talent, it is within a program we understand, not from a catalog.

How is SIC different from a large consultancy?

Most firms sell one part of a program: strategy, implementation, or staffing. Failures usually happen where those parts meet. We hold all three, and we work with a small number of clients at any one time.

Do you work as a prime contractor or a subcontractor?

Both. We work as prime or subcontractor, with clear swim-lanes and auditable standards.

How does an engagement start?

With an introductory conversation. Write to us with your organization, the program, what is happening, and why you are reaching out now. If there is a fit, we define the engagement's scope before any work begins.

How much does an engagement cost?

Every engagement is scoped to the specific program, and fees are set as part of that scope before work begins.

How long do engagements last?

From 30 days to two years, depending on where the program is. Every engagement follows the same four phases:

Every engagement closes with Embed, a planned handoff so the program holds without us. Each has a defined scope and an end point agreed before work begins, and when a program needs more than one phase, each is scoped on its own.

Where are you based?

SIC is based in Dallas, Texas, and works with organizations across the United States.

Are you certified?

SIC is woman-owned and holds City of Cleveland Minority Business Enterprise (MBE) and Female Business Enterprise (FBE) certifications.

Are you registered for government contracting?

Yes. SIC is registered in SAM.gov. UEI YBKKWN74GG13; CAGE 8M3W6; primary NAICS 541611.

How quickly will you respond?

Within one business day. Every inquiry reaches the Managing Principal.
