Multidisciplinary leadership focused on successful project delivery.

About OSS Planning

  

OSS Planning was established to meet the increasing need for technical and strategic support across complex, capital-intensive facilities initiatives. Multi-stakeholder projects require focused coordination, early planning, and specialized expertise that can extend beyond internal staffing capacity. We support internal teams by providing structured planning, stakeholder coordination, and delivery oversight to reduce risk and maintain project momentum.


Our scope of services are scalable and tailored to client requirements, ranging from targeted facility condition assessments to full lifecycle project planning and implementation support. Engagements may include early-stage evaluation, capital planning, and program development, as well as ongoing owner-side coordination through design, procurement, and delivery phases.


The company is led by Chief Strategy Officer, Mike Pieper, and supported by a team of partners who bring complementary expertise across planning, finance, design, and project execution. The leadership team brings more than 30 years of experience working in complex public and private-sector environments, delivering large-scale initiatives, managing diverse stakeholders, and guiding projects from concept through implementation.


OSS Planning is based in Grand Forks, serving clients nationwide
