Kaptivate Advances OMBI Broadband Leadership

The National Telecommunications and Information Administration's (NTIA) Office of Minority Broadband Initiatives (OMBI) plays a pivotal role in expanding broadband access across the United States. Recognizing the need for structured program management to oversee its expanding initiatives, NTIA sought expertise to establish a Strategic PMO that could align its objectives, streamline operations, and enhance stakeholder engagement

Overview

Kaptivate aligned OMBI’s initiatives with federal priorities, strengthening interagency collaboration and empowering higher education anchor institutions and their communities with critical digital resources. Kaptivate’s work was foundational to ensuring sustainable broadband expansion, improving digital access, and fostering long-term economic opportunities for historically underserved institutions and communities.

Solution

Kaptivate provided NTIA with structured program management, stakeholder engagement, and data-informed decision-making to strengthen its capacity to execute federal broadband initiatives, support grant programs, including the Connecting Minority Communities (CMC) Pilot Program, and communicate the benefits of investing in broadband. With expertise in strategic communications, research, capacity building, and community engagement, Kaptivate enhanced OMBI’s role as a national leader in promoting broadband opportunities.
