Our Story
From Then to Now.
From our early days as entrepreneurs – in our basement with our dog Magnum – we have focused on being more than just a company that puts people on projects.
Arc Aspicio’s mission is to create and deliver integrated, innovative, and trusted solutions to enhance our nation’s future. As a consulting and solutions company, we solve problems by applying our integrated capabilities in strategy, human-centered design, human capital, data analytics, and technology. The company passionately pursues our vision to be the hub of creativity where people take action to change the world. To do this, employees collaborate with clients and partners to create solutions using a human-centered approach that promotes action to implement innovations successfully to achieve mission results.
Our approach to providing services and solutions to clients includes significant executive attention, applies methods and innovations, and achieves long-term collaborative partnerships with our clients – all focused on their mission. We have accomplished this despite a difficult market, obstacles with the Government, and a changing generation that has new demands from their workplace. While we have made a few mistakes along the way, we have turned them into lessons and leading practices so that we can continually repeat success with our clients.
Our leadership meets yearly to create and discuss a bold strategy that benefits our clients and our employees. As a result of these strategy sessions, in 2016 we founded our Strategy Innovation Lab (SILab), a center to incubate new ideas. Other highlights include ArcTank, an internal innovation process that allows our employees to suggest strategic ideas, and our government focused Customer Experience accelerator. In 2023, our Leadership Council developed a bold new strategy for 2024 focused on human-centered design and increasing capabilities in data-informed decision making.
Since 2004, our team has worked to innovate and solve problems for government clients spanning homeland security, law enforcement, and justice. In 2021, Arc Aspicio celebrated 150 projects at the Department of Homeland Security. For her role driving bold approaches and innovative collaboration, OrangeSlices recognized Arc Aspicio CEO, Lynn Ann Casey as a 2024 Engage Homeland and National Security Honoree.
Our hard work and continued focus on improvement enforce a strong, collaborative culture that emphasizes respect, gratitude, mission focus, and action. Our consultants are creative, disciplined, and flexible, and our culture reinforces these qualities. We involve employees at all levels in company work, and we provide opportunities for executive feedback throughout the employee experience. Employees and the relationships they build are the driving force behind some of our greatest successes.
