In order to determine the financial feasibility of a particular program, a “deep dive” assessment must be performed to identify current operational parameters. Key Performance Indicator’s (KPI’s) will be established based on the benchmark information and used to measure the program’s effectiveness. The following are examples of questions asked during our assessment process.
