ABOUT US

The complexity of problems facing government managers is such that we must bring to bear on them the most experienced, capable, and creative business management talent we can find.
—Robert S. McNamara

To tackle those complex problems, Secretary of Defense McNamara recommended establishing an organization of specialists. Three weeks later, in October 1961, LMI was born. Since then, LMI has evolved, growing and building on its rich history of public service by bringing the best management and technical minds to address intricate issues across the federal government. As administrations, priorities, and policies have changed over the last 50 years, LMI’s mission has remained constant.

Our employees come from diverse backgrounds: government and defense, business and industry, and academia and research. More than half are either veterans or former civil servants, and more than 80 percent have advanced degrees. They work for LMI because they believe in our mission of improving the management of government.

Federal agencies value our not-for-profit status and specialized services in logistics, information management, asset management, organizational improvement, and resource management. We have comprehensive experience in the defense, intelligence, homeland security, health care, and energy and environment markets.
LMI also invests in a research program that brings additional rigor, precision, and predictability to government decision making. We encourage our employees to expand their expertise and use the results of their research to find new solutions to government’s greatest management challenges.

This combination of broad perspective, deep analytical skill, and a public-service mission, so unusual in government consulting, enables LMI to offer practical—and often original and unconventional—solutions to enable federal managers to attain their agency’s objectives.
