Arc Aspicio Supports Anti-Human Trafficking Non-Profit Organization 

Washington, DC, February 14, 2017 — Arc Aspicio started a pro bono project for Courtney’s House, a non-profit organization dedicated to helping the victims and survivors of human trafficking. Arc Aspicio supports Courtney’s House on their priority needs.

The partnership, which started in October 2016, includes an extensive strategy for communications, fundraising, and volunteer coordination. This streamlines Courtney’s House day-to-day business activities and extends the non-profit’s outreach to communities and survivors.

“The partnership with Courtney’s House was a natural fit for us and we are excited to continue making an impact on the fight against human trafficking,” says Despina Panagoulias, an Arc Aspicio manager leading the pro bono project. “Refreshing their website, establishing a better social media presence, and organizing their fundraising and volunteer outreach means that Courtney’s House has a greater ability to save lives and spread the word about the dangers of human trafficking.”

The pro bono support that Arc Aspicio provides for Courtney’s House aligns closely with the company’s mission. Arc Aspicio is devoted to the fight against human trafficking, and the company continues to pursue projects supporting this mission. Arc Aspicio won the GovCon Program of the Year Award for their data analytics project combating human trafficking in 2014.

Pro bono work is part of a broad community involvement strategy that has previously included work with the National Disaster Search Dog Foundation and the Central Union Mission in Washington, D.C.

Reinventing Strategy

Reinventing Strategy

Since the GPRA Modernization Act in 2010, agencies across the Federal Government have raced to establish new Strategic Plans in response to incoming Presidential Administrations and agency leaders. Developing a new Strategic Plan is incredibly exciting for an agency. Leaders can redefine priorities, frontline managers can improve mission performance, and employees can better engage with the mission. Strategy, however, is so much more than just a Strategic Plan.

Running IT Like a Business: How Technology Business Management is Shaping the Future of Federal Agencies

As the Government continually looks for ways to increase efficiency and encourage innovation, Information Technology (IT) is emerging as a solution to these needs. Recent Federal guidance mandates all agencies to adopt a new framework for better understanding IT costs. Technology Business Management (TBM) is a framework that incorporates IT departments into the overall business network, shifting away from treating IT as an independent unit. This provides a clear way to evaluate and manage IT, running IT as a business and communicating the value of new IT investments.

Behavioral Science – Using Behavioral Science to Effect Action

Behavioral Science – Using Behavioral Science to Effect Action

How do organizations encourage behavior change in their customers? Increasingly, they focus on customer experience, and as a consequence employ behavioral science methodologies. At the heart of behavioral science is the consideration of how an organization can make small investments that generate incremental savings/returns while considering both customers and organizational benefits. One example is Transportation Security Administration’s (TSA) Pre✓® and U.C. Customs and Border Protection’s Global Entry programs.

Captivate Your Audience Through Design+Data

Captivate Your Audience Through Design+Data

So often, senior leaders must communicate their strategic and simple vision in a world of growing complexity. They must make decisions – and frequently explain them – based on an enterprise view of their data. It’s getting easier to do this these days through data visualizations and infographics that speak to specific employee and stakeholder audiences. Design+Data is what we call it at Arc Aspicio.
