We work with organizations either independently or integrated within their team. We also work collaboratively with our clients to ensure buy-in on all solutions. Our solutions are tailored to the client's specific needs and we focus on delivering results. Throughout the process, we work with our clients' teams to permanently transfer knowledge and skills to the employees.

The Integrated Consulting Process

Integrated Strategic Solutions developed the Integrated Consulting Process. In developing this process, we leveraged lessons learned from already existing consulting processes as well as “best practices.” This process focuses on “Speed to Results.”

What is different about our approach is that it is “Client Centered” and based on upon the Business Case Justification. In other words, “What is the value of doing this specific project?” In addition our approach “Integrates” with the client's business processes; what the client's teams know will work for their organization and their culture “… no change, just to change .” Finally, our approach focuses on skill transfer so that the client retains the skills once we complete the project.

The value of designing the intervention prior to the action is that planning up-front helps to prevent defects down the line. There is a trade-off because it does take longer to go through the planning phase than it does through the implementation phase. However, the benefit of doing the up front planning is that it will cost less later.



Initial Planning is the Key to Reducing Defects Later
