About Us

DSI Civic specializes in government restructuring and reorganization; government debt restructuring and finance; forensic auditing; and negotiations.

DSI Civic has been a leading provider of management, consulting, and financial advisory services for more than thirty-five years, successfully crafting and executing strategies for government officials, corporations, regulatory agencies, not-for-profit organizations, and court-sanctioned committees protecting the rights of retirees and pension holders.

DSI Civic recognizes the dramatic differences between realigning government bureaucracies and realigning commercial enterprises.  We understand the complex and fundamentally different rules and regulations, and the political and communication imperatives associated with any difficult change.

For municipal and special purpose governments, DSI Civic provides a skilled and diverse team of hands-on practitioners with experience in successfully deploying the following tools:

  • Fiscal Stress Analysis
  • Restructuring and Reorganization
  • Debt Refinancing
  • Asset Leases
  • Public-Private Partnerships, including negotiations and contractor oversight and management
  • Contract Negotiations
  • Actuarial Accounting — including pensions, health care, and retirement benefits
  • Management and Forensic Audits
  • Communications Strategies

Whether it’s turning around a troubled local government, helping a state recover its investments after mismanagement and fraud, or restructuring a failed entity under regulatory authority, DSI Civic has time and time again delivered remarkable results for its clients and their stakeholders.

DSI Civic helps governments tackle monumental challenges.  To survive and thrive, today’s managers must not merely do some things; often they must do everything, including:

  • Streamlining and reorganizing bureaucracies
  • Restructuring health and pension plans
  • Exploring public-private partnerships
  • Pursuing asset monetization’s and leasebacks
  • Deploying technology more effectively
  • Refinancing and restructuring debt

Although most distressed governments have time to right their fiscal ships, those that delay will face increasing pressures—either insolvency or, more likely, a change in leadership imposed by voters.  But public managers with courage and certitude—armed with the right knowledge, tools and execution strategies—can lead the way with new and better models of civic management.  DSI Civic can help them get there.
