Our History
Forge Forward joined two, closely aligned teams in 2021, but the story starts nearly twenty years ago. Pivotal Insight was founded in 2003 to deliver expert advisory service to Government agencies. This brand of world-class service was based on best practice research similar to what was available to the private sector. In 2008, Global Defense, Inc (GDI) was founded as a separate, and complementary consultancy focused on technological and engineering support to Government agencies. As Pivotal and GDI matured their offerings, Pivotal moved more into the Strategic and Organizational space, as GDI grew a broad portfolio of tech solutions. From 2008-2019, the two companies were co-managed, but operating separately. In the interest of better client service, the merger provides greater contract flexibility, joint leverage of past performance, streamlined administration, and cross-leveraged personnel, relationships and capabilities. Moving into 2021, Forge Forward is ready to bring optimal outcomes, completely rebranded and doubly prepared to deliver for our clients.
