Our Firm:
C!A®, a member of the Vimo® family, is a consulting firm focused specifically on helping government agencies increase capacity to do more good. For nearly two decades, states, counties and municipalities across the country have turned to C!A to help them fix broken business processes and systems to improve capacity and meet program goals.
Our Focus:
Although our work spans all areas of government, our hearts have led us to focus on government agencies delivering vital safety net programs including child care, eligibility (i.e., Medicaid, SNAP), child welfare, child support, and unemployment insurance. This unwavering dedication to human services has helped us become an industry leader in business process redesign, having worked with over 50% of the states in the nation and several large counties.
Our Impact:
Using a proven methodology and approach to work with government that is well documented in C!A Founder Ken Miller’s books, including Extreme Government Makeover and We Don’t Make Widgets: Overcoming the Myths that Keep Government from Improving, we consistently help government clients achieve significant and noteworthy results including:
· 70% faster delivery of services
· 40% to 130% more families served, with improved accuracy and timeliness
· 60% - 80% increase in same-day eligibility determinations
· 85% reduction in open child welfare safety assessments
· Avert federal financial sanctions and/or court injunctions
· Maximize the benefits of technology and integrated solutions by first redesigning processes
Our Future:
We know there is more good for government agencies to do as they work to help people in need ... and that we can help ... and that’s why we’re growing. We’re looking for other like-minded individuals with government program experience, particularly in the areas of human services and/or child care, to join our dynamic and highly talented team.
Our Team:
For C!A, public service is a calling and way of life. Public servants by experience and at heart, the C!A team is comprised of former government employees who have dedicated much of their professional careers to public service. Each team member brings unique and diverse program experience representing differing levels of government operations and has a deep understanding of government processes, working with state, county and local agencies and offices, and the associated federal agencies.
Are you interested in joining the C!A family?
If you have extensive experience in human services and/or child care and have a passion for improving government culture by changing minds and fixing systems, then you might be a perfect fit for the C!A family.
The job requires travel to work onsite at client locations, as necessary. Otherwise, you will provide needed client support by working remotely.
