Core Values

Dynamic
Change is the only constant. ISG embraces and influences change. We work to be better tomorrow than we are today.

Together
ISG works with clients as a team that values each other, challenges each other, and builds each other up. Together, we make a difference.

Respect
We understand that respect is earned, not given. ISG works to earn your respect and consideration.

Responsive
We are quick to respond. ISG proactively communicates and moves forward with a sense of urgency.

Empathy
We are committed to understanding the context, needs, and goals of others so that we can better serve you. By thinking like our clients, we will make a positive difference in our local communities and beyond.


The ISG Difference

Contextual Design
Our user-centric design process delivers quality solutions that meet and exceed clients’ visions. Context considers all the factors beyond four walls to customize every project for the client—goals, culture, history, and best practices.

Alternative Analysis
A problem-solving partnership to guide projects by providing one option of exactly what the client is expecting and enhanced alternative options that may be more beneficial.

Better Decisions, Faster
Develop consensus sooner. Draw a sketch, investigate an idea, and agree before committing big resources on an errant path. We seek to foster a better-decisions mentality.
