BTI was founded with the vision of creating a world freed from ineffective, inefficient, non-value-added processes. Our collective work experience started in organizations that were unable to achieve their goals despite a wealth of funding, skilled and knowledgeable people, and access to the best technology on Earth. What the organizations lacked was process—that is, how to do the work by effectively and efficiently marshaling people and resources. As an organization and as individuals, we are optimists—setbacks may happen, but the right combination of process, people, and resources will win in the end. BTI is dedicated to the idea that we live in a golden age of increasing productivity, where the way that we perform work is undergoing as monumental a revolution as the transition from the village craftsman to the assembly line.
BTI applies systems engineering skills at the enterprise level to drive measurable improvement. Our toolbox for success is a synthesis of industry models such as DevOps, agile, Lean Six Sigma, Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC), the Capability Maturity Model Integration (CMMI®), and ITIL/ITSM. While compliance with these standards is important, we emphasize measurable performance over compliance.
We help our customers maximize value delivered, increase efficiency, and eliminate roadblocks to create opportunities for innovation.
Since its start in 2005, BTI has served customers in 14 US states and the District of Columbia ranging in size from a 12 person organization to the Fortune 100. BTI has provided systems engineering, process improvement, and process automation services to major U.S. corporations in industries such as Aerospace, Financial Services, Healthcare, Information Technology Solution Services, Retail, Utility, and the U.S. Federal Government. BTI is headquartered in Columbia, Maryland.
BTI offers process consulting services including process change management, training, and certifications for a variety of industries.
BTI succeeds in its mission when an organization is measurably better in a way that makes a real difference, is able to sustain the change for the better, knows that it is better, and is satisfied with the result.
Business Transformation Institute, Inc. (BTI) joined in partnership with Raytheon SAS to help us bring together many diverse business units and to stabilize and improve our performance. Throughout the years we have worked together and achieved CMMI Maturity Level 5 while bringing together geographically and process diverse units. This has allowed us to have a much higher fluidity in our staff and contract execution locations without suffering performance degradation. Also, BTI has led the way in choreographing novel appraisal methodologies that have significantly reduced the cost of maintaining CMMI certification and ensuring that the programs do not suffer “set-back” during the gap between certification renewals.
CNI was going to graduate from the federal government’s 8(a) program. We had to be prepared to compete. Part of this is having good processes. BTI helped us to do it.
I was fortunate to work with the BTI team on deploying the CMMI Level 2 practice at Western Union. There were a number of obstacles in garnering top-down changes and support everyone that the team was able to work through and make it successful.
Implementing CMMI practices and procedures in an unstructured environment is surely difficult, but the BTI team was able to see the big picture and also make sure that the details were correctly addressed and implemented.
I highly recommend the BTI team!
