Experience
FPBS has supported planning, tools, and reviews across government and industry. The firm is also introducing AI engineering into its value-added activities where engagements benefit—pairing classical strategy, portfolio, and program methods with modern intelligent workflows when appropriate. Many details are confidential; the patterns below describe types of work without naming clients or quoting outcomes numerically. For the principal’s current technical focus in AI (LLMs, agents, decision-support applications, and related training), see steven-griggs.com.
Large-scale technology maturation
Program planning and decision-support orientation for a portfolio of many parallel technologies aimed at a next-generation aircraft capability, involving multiple government organizations. Affiliated delivery partners have included firms such as Sabre Systems where engagements required integrated support.
Service program planning
Systems engineering program planning for a major technology maturation effort—structuring how a large set of technologies evolves toward future capability for an Air Force–related organization.
Independent review
Participation on an independent review team for a technology development program focused on energy-related aircraft concepts—helping sponsors stress-test assumptions, risks, and priorities.
Small and mid-size business mentoring
Ongoing mentoring on business strategy, business development, entering new industries, firm growth, resource assessment and development, hiring to meet goals, risk mitigation, and crafting briefings and proposals to win business.
AI engineering for decision support and workflows
FPBS is building capability to apply AI engineering where it clearly adds value: intelligent decision-support aids, workflows that populate and manage planning and portfolio tools, and domain-grounded conversational assistants built on curated technical and business knowledge. This extends the firm’s long-standing work on structured technology development and investment frameworks—not a replacement for judgment, but a way to scale analysis and consistency when clients are ready. Direction and applied examples are documented on the principal’s site—see steven-griggs.com (Current Focus, AI + Business Transformation, and related portfolio sections).
