Strategic Planning
International Institute for Environmental Studies
Strategic Plan & Business Plan
The International Institute for Environmental Studies (IIES) is a global network of more than 30 partner universities and research institutions focused on interdisciplinary environmental research, knowledge exchange, and professional development. Rev Hospitality Co. was engaged to develop a three-year Strategic Plan and Business Plan to support the Institute’s transition from its initial growth phase into a long-term operating model.
Our work focused on establishing clear priorities and translating the Institute’s mission into a realistic, phased plan for growth. Using a hospitality and operations lens, we looked at the Institute’s annual conference, exchange programs, and learning activities as core programs that require clear systems, capacity planning, and sustainable resourcing. This informed the development of a concise and practical implementation framework for sustainable growth.
