We develop products and supply services related to business analytics and data analytics, software and IoT applications, and training development and delivery. We also provide technical assistance and customized training about benefit-cost analysis and hazard mitigation grant programs.
One of our top priorities is to assist our clients in meeting their missions and achieving their strategic goals. We analyze business processes, technologies, and data and then develop actionable strategies to increase effectiveness, cost savings, and time efficiency. Our aim is to provide innovative yet pragmatic responses to challenges that result in effective and timely decision-making.
Ideation’s goal is to use data science techniques to transform raw data into actionable information. We proficiently transform data from one schema to another. We specialize in statistical modeling and unearthing data patterns to meet the complex needs of our customers.
Ideation provides assistance in eliciting both the big-picture vision of our clients’ objectives as well as the detailed requirements and processes. We analyze business processes, examine data management methods, and assess technologies. By using optimal visualization, modeling, and mapping techniques, we help our clients envision solutions.

Using our experience, expertise, and advanced research in multi-disciplinary engineering, data science, and technology, we have developed the Internet of Risk Meters Platform (IoRMP). Check out our fully managed IoRMP as a service (IoRMPaaS) solution.
Ideation provides training development and training delivery support in a variety of learning formats. Based on a thorough understanding of adult learning principles, we use instructional strategies, methods, and activities to create interactive learning experiences for adult learners. Ideation instructional designers work with subject matter experts (in fields such as emergency management, engineering, transportation, economics, science, and hazard mitigation) to supply technical content for training course development or to deliver training instruction.
Our training team develops new training and enhances existing training to meet desired learning outcomes and to fully engage the learner. From a macro perspective, we evaluate an organization’s entire training program and recommend strategies for increasing its effectiveness. Within a training program, we design courses and multi-media solutions for delivery in any format or combinations of formats. For optimal learning, we develop on-demand training that meets the learners’ needs at the time and format in which they need it.
“Their performance has been exceptional in that they often work proactively by offering creative and innovative approaches to course development.”

We excel at assembling a team of training instructors that have both the required technical subject matter expertise and an understanding of how adults learn best. These experienced instructors use effective platform skills to ensure students are engaged and participating. The instructors’ goals are to maximize adult learners’ technical knowledge and give them skills to apply the concepts they learn on their jobs.
“Students in courses instructed by Ideation have ranked them with the highest marks for technical capability and subject matter expertise. Several students have commented that the instructors helped them understand a complex subject matter by making the instruction relatable.”

Ideation provides training, technical assistance, and advisement to Federal, state, tribal, territorial and local agencies related to implementing hazard mitigation programs and strategies to promote better mitigation outcomes. We help clients implement creative, cost-effective, and holistic solutions that enable communities to mitigate future hazard events and increase their disaster resilience.
Ideation assists state and local agencies in enhancing their mitigation strategies and improving their capability to demonstrate project cost-effectiveness. According to our clients’ needs, we deliver customized training and workshops about the Federal award lifecycle, grants management processes, and benefit-cost analyses.
We assist our clients by analyzing policy changes and identifying potential programmatic impacts. After reviewing mitigation program procedures, we make recommendations for improvements. To assist in monitoring implemented mitigation activities, we capture and analyze hazard mitigation risk data.
“Other than FEMA, nobody else has as much understanding or experience in hazard mitigation assistance and its governing rules as Ideation does.”
