ISSi's approach is simple and direct. We strive to understand our clients' goals and objectives, and to mitigate the technical, regulatory and management issues facing our clients. We utilize a risk management based approach to identify and evaluate options. This approach provides for systematic evaluation and comprehensive issue resolution.

ISSi's success in managing complex projects lies in our ability to analyze data within the larger context of a client's overall requirements. Our program management skills provide clients with the foundation to define, organize, and control their operations through the strategic integration of capabilities and resources.

Our staff do not presume that solutions are always technical. From experience, we know that creative management measures can often be used to eliminate or reduce the scope and cost of scientific or engineering solutions.

To maximize the value of our client's investments it is crucial to understand the options and constraints that exist. For example, can project plans be modified to accommodate uncertainty in conditions? Or, is additional site data necessary? Although reliable information is a requisite for good decisions, the collection of new data should be conditioned on whether it might change decisions.

It is important to identify critical management information. In many cases, regulatory negotiation, or other management actions can provide the most cost effective risk management and liability protection.
