Our Mission Is To Provide You Unique Business Solution

Critical Infrastructure Protection (CIP) is a concept that recognizes the gravity of the impact of recent events on your business.  Using CIP methodology, Attain Consulting's certified Professionals in Critical Infrastructure Protection (PCIP) will provide you with ways and means to protect your systems and mitigate risks to preserve your organization and its ability to complete its roles and missions.  We will help your organization build levels of redundancy and resiliency into your systems in such a way that your organization can identify, implement, and integrate opportunities to preserve your capacity to meet your obligations.  To achieve this redundancy and resiliency, Attain Consulting's CIP specialists can, through an all-hazards approach CIP assessment, identify the key issues surrounding your organization’s critical services, and implement protective and responsive measures that reduce lost time and ensure that your organization can continue functioning should an adverse event occur.

Attain Business Consulting and the Critical Infrastructure Institute provide four services: training of a certified Professional in Critical Infrastructure Protection (PCIP); consulting services in Critical Infrastructure Protection; membership to the Critical Infrastructure Institute, with access to the PCIP community and the CII virtual library; and complimentary attendance at the bi-annual Critical Infrastructure Protection Conference.

Is your organization prepared for possible future emergencies that could jeopardize the organization's core mission and its long-term health? Are your employees protected in the workplace should an incident occur?  Incidents such as building fires, electrical failures, floods, ice storms, or pandemic illnesses can all pose threats to your employees, business effectiveness, and profitability. Let Attain Business Consulting help you protect your employees and business by preparing an EPP that will provide you with a plan and a risk mitigation strategy.  This EPP can be done independently, or more holistically as a part of an all-hazards approach Critical Infrastructure Protection (CIP) assessment.

Changes in your business can be stressful for everyone in your organization.  Sometimes this stress can even cause the failure of the change when the employees don't embrace the changes.  This lack of employee acceptance to change may adversely affect the longevity of your business. Attain Business Consulting has been effecting Change Management in organizations for over a decade.  We can help you plan for change and assist you in implementing the necessary changes, whether it is expanding your workforce, reducing your workforce or bringing in new systems and processes. At Attain, we use the ADKAR Model for Change Management to develop a custom solution for your situation.  ADKAR is a proven systematic approach that considers: 1. Awareness – of why the change is needed; 2. Desire – to support and participate in the change; 3. Knowledge – of how to change; 4. Ability – to implement new skills and behaviors; and 5. Reinforcement – to sustain the change. We understand that you could learn this model, but we also understand that you are busy and need to focus on running your business; therefore, let Attain get you started with your change management needs.
