The Continuum Group assists companies in entering the Business-to-Government (B2G) marketplace and expanding their existing government business. Our services are tailored to each client’s needs, enabling us to assist a wide range of firms, from the large publicly-held companies to new market entrants. We support our clients through the entire life-cycle of their government sales efforts by integrating our management consulting and government market expertise into a high touch advisory services model. The Continuum Group has organized its consulting services to support this cycle:

Analyze: The Continuum Group combines strategic analysis with analytic market, opportunity, and political analysis. The Continuum Group project team begins by assessing, both internally and externally, an organization’s capability to win government business. The Continuum Group possesses top qualitative and quantitative government market research capabilities and, through our relationships, experience, proprietary databases, and other tools, we help clients target real opportunities.

Organize: Too often, organizations address the government marketplace with preconceived notions of how to do business with the government. Many of these assumptions drive companies to consider only one way of reaching the government customer. The Continuum Group provides our clients with a broad evaluation of the various channel, merger, acquisition, and partnering options available and the project team will guide the client through establishing and optimizing the external and internal structures necessary to reach government customers in the most effective way.

Market: The Continuum Group answers the “who, what, where, when, why, how” of government acquisition and procurement. The B2G marketplace is known for its intricate customer and purchaser behavior models and The Continuum Group provides our clients with an understanding of the unique government buying roles, including: initiators, influencers, legislators, regulators, purchasers, and users. Our services help clients reach key decision-makers and effectively deliver their value proposition.

Influence: While marketing to government customers, successful businesses continuously seek legal and ethical ways to increase their probabilities for success. The Continuum Group develops procurement-shaping strategies to increase a client’s probability to win contracts. B2G efforts generally include legislative, regulatory, and appropriations strategies. The Continuum Group helps clients determine when and where these strategies are effective, and develops and assists in executing, custom strategies with issue- and relationship-specific partners.

Capture: Successful B2G initiatives end with superior proposal writing and project management. Once the contract has been won, The Continuum Group supports our clients in their project / customer / partner management roles to ensure that the government customer is satisfied and that strategic partners are performing to expectations.
