  • IISC’s training, facilitation, strategic planning and other services have helped us build partnerships, master the skills needed to maintain those partnerships, and develop the organizational structures we need. Without their help, it would have been difficult, if not impossible to do what we’ve done in the time that we’ve done it.

  • IISC facilitated a reorganization process of teaming structures, staffing assignments, and decision making processes for our organization. We now have a reorganized structure that meets the changing needs of the work we face, while most importantly building a more collaborative staff culture.
