Almost two years ago when we started down this path, [the ISF team] came along side [us] and became members of our team; as our partner, not just our vendor. Though we certainly feel like [the announcement of our next generation system] marks a milestone, we know it is just the beginning of the real work. The foundation that has been set by this team will help make that work much easier.

With an organizational analysis, ISF will evaluate where your organization requires change to achieve critical objectives and improve mission performance. We do this by evaluating the current state of your organization to identify existing gaps, capacities, and opportunities. This evaluation can include assessment of your organizational structure, hiring practices, culture, compensation model, talent development, performance management, and more. We use our expertise, past successful experiences, and best practices to apply a scientific foundation to our assessments, reducing ambiguity, informing better decision making, and driving targeted action.
Compensation programs significantly impact an organization’s ability to successfully recruit and retain talent, operate effectively, and sustain operations over time. ISF provides compensation studies that analyze existing pay practices in comparison with similar organizations. Using results from this market analysis and an assessment of the specific barriers facing your organization, ISF uses a proven methodology to break down challenges and identify tailored solutions for future improvements.
Workforce assessments provide insight into an organization's capacity to effectively carry out its mission. A variety of approaches can be developed to assess a workforce's performance, composition, processes, and capabilities. ISF is well versed in targeted data solicitation to gain necessary insight and identify opportunities for workforce and organizational improvements. ISF also examines current business processes in comparison to industry best practices to support the development of recommendations for an enhanced future state and a high-performing workforce.
Enhancing the capabilities of an organization's team has the potential to improve business processes, performance, and employee satisfaction. The availability of comprehensive and customized training and professional development opportunities for employees demonstrates an organization's commitment to its employees and its mission. ISF's experience in needs assessments, strategic planning, and training development enables us to customize solutions to meet the needs of an organization based on its current state and future goals. ISF assesses, plans, develops, and delivers training and professional development based on best practices and research-based methods.
An organization's culture is the collective heartbeat of the organization, comprised of the values, beliefs, processes, and behaviors demonstrated by the people within it. A positive organizational culture significantly contributes to employee satisfaction and mission performance. ISF is experienced in assessing organizational culture through group and individual interviews, business process reviews, and confidential questionnaires. Understanding the organization's culture supports the development of recommendations to make intentional and meaningful improvements for all levels of the organization.
