DHS ICE Office of State and Local Coordination Program Support

Challenge

The Office of State and Local Coordination (OSLC) is responsible for coordinating US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) participation in multi-agency/multi-authority programs that relate to state and local governments. Agreements of Cooperation in Communities to Enhance Safety and Security (ACCESS) is the portfolio of ICE programs that can be leveraged by state and local law enforcement to be a force multiplier for ICE. OSLC required a broad array of program management support to implement and manage the ACCESS program.

Solution

DRC is providing a broad array of integrated program management support activities including: program control and accountability support, cost benefit analysis support, risk mitigation activity support, investment management support, activity reporting, strategic planning and management, acquisition planning, training and awareness, project planning and scheduling, and communications planning.

DRC employs our Value-Driven Reengineering (VDRE) methodology to determine how to best implement desired changes. VDRE is based on the Project Management Body of Knowledge (PMBOK®) and Software Engineering Institute (SEI) CMMI best practices for project management, systems development, and quality assurance. DRC's Business Process Reengineering (BPR) and change management tools are incorporated into our VDRE methodology. VDRE is implemented using internal and commercially-available tools for organizational development and change management. We use Pareto Charts, Fishbone Diagrams, and Force Field Analysis to discover each factor that impacts a business process. Armed with data on all aspects of a process, DRC consultants facilitate the development of new processes using tools like Grid Analysis, Decision Trees, and Mind Maps to assess the impacts of each potential process change on teams, individuals, and organizations.

Benefits/Achievements

ICE OSLC is expected to benefit from our core capabilities in project management and organizational change. These benefits include:

  • Program and process improvements are planned and successfully implemented. DRC's Project Management Toolkit (PMT) provides a proven foundation for implementing repeatable, high-quality project management processes at OSLC.

  • Effective change management for ICE. DRC uses our VDRE methodology and tools to quickly assess gaps, establish a realistic agenda for change, and implement recommendations.
