Case studies · Control towers

Control towers that turn supply chain signals into coordinated action.

I develop control tower platforms for broadband, energy, semiconductor and infrastructure programs — connecting supplier, product, market and program data into one continuously updated view that leaders can act on.

What every control tower delivers

  • End-to-end visibility

    One view of suppliers, products, constraints and program status.

  • Early warning

    Market signals and risk ratings that surface constraints before they hit schedules.

  • Issue management

    Capture, ownership, mitigation, escalation and resolution, linked to what is affected.

  • Executive dashboards

    Decision-ready views of risks, issues, market trends and adoption.

01

Broadband

Supply chain portal and intelligence platform for a broadband infrastructure program

Public and private stakeholders needed one place to understand supplier and product availability, market signals and risk across a large broadband build-out, aligned with federal Build America, Buy America (BABA) and BEAD requirements.

Focus

  • Modular, reusable intelligence platform: use cases, data model, governance, operating model and roadmap
  • Dual-axis impact and likelihood risk methodology with standardized Low / Medium / High ratings
  • Issue reporting and management workflows linked to vendors, products and projects
  • AI-enabled and agentic approaches to ongoing supplier and product monitoring
  • Executive dashboards, onboarding, training and subgrantee-facing materials

Energy

Control tower platform for energy supply chains

Applying the control tower approach to energy programs — bringing supplier, product and market intelligence together with risk and issue management in one view.

Focus

  • End-to-end visibility across suppliers, products and program milestones
  • Risk assessment and early warning on supply constraints
  • Issue tracking with clear owners and mitigation
  • Executive dashboards for coordinated decisions

Semiconductor

Semiconductor supply chain ecosystem and control tower view

For a state economic development semiconductor supply chain pursuit, I developed research briefs, partner talking points and a supply chain ecosystem narrative with a control-tower-style executive view.

Focus

  • Supply chain ecosystem mapping and narrative
  • Control-tower-style executive view of the ecosystem
  • Research briefs and partner talking points

Infrastructure

Control tower platforms for infrastructure programs

Infrastructure programs depend on many suppliers, products and projects moving together. The control tower connects them so constraints, compliance questions and issues are visible early and handled consistently.

Focus

  • Connected vendor, product, compliance, market and program information
  • Standardized risk ratings and mitigation considerations
  • Governance and operating model for ongoing use
  • Stakeholder adoption through training and materials
