Strategic planning for a city Information Services organization

A large city CIO had a vision for information services (IS) in the city and several contractors had developed technology plans of varying breadths and levels of detail.  But he wanted a single, comprehensive IS strategic plan to achieve the vision, integrate all the plans, and focus on the organization's mission as a whole, not just the technology.  To complicate the engagement, most of the people in the organization were contractors for two different companies.

Strategic Perspectives organized and led three days of meetings to identify the objectives, define strategies, and outline potential actions to achieve the vision.  Personnel were to write the plan with support and editorial guidance from us, but operational pressures resulted in Strategic Perspectives being asked to interact with personnel and write the vast majority of the plan.
