Strategic & Tactical Planning

IGS has extensive experience in developing strategic, tactical and operational business plans.  Our flexible model can be tailored to meet the needs of any organization.  Our planning process involves organizational leaders and other key stakeholders in an environmental scan to assess both internal and external forces that may impact the organization in the future.  Once the stakeholders have developed a common understanding of the situation, stakeholders then define a future vision, which leads to development of specific initiatives to accomplish the desired vision.

The IGS staff is also experienced in developing tactical, operating and work plans that support implementation of the organization’s broad vision and strategic objectives.  We involve staff and other stakeholders to bring the real world perspective into the planning process.  This staff involvement builds buy-in and ownership that will lead to successful implementation. We also work with staff and organizational leaders to develop evaluation points that provide opportunities to check progress and adjust the plan as needed to meet the goals and objectives.

"...Shirlene stepped up immediately to develop a staged business development program. This program has been an unimaginable success... it has become the main source of cash for the operation"
