Without a thoughtfully articulated roadmap for the future, the decision process becomes reactionary. Agencies with a carefully constructed strategic plan are able to respond to changing circumstances without compromising guiding principles or sacrificing future goals.

We can provide customized packages and documentation to suit the needs of your agency. Process Improvement is an evolutionary process that requires collaboration and cooperation of all parties in order to be successful. Our consultants are highly skilled at facilitating this type of communication.
Learn the existing process. Our consultants will work closely with your on-site staff to understand the procedures, goals and process that are currently in existence. Careful examination and understanding of all documentation and directives is essential to design an effective plan moving forward.
Identify opportunities. When procedures have been in place for a long time, they may get bogged down with unnecessary or highly manual tasks that can create a time drag. Or, it may not take advantage of available technology. We can assist with reducing steps to completion, simplifying complex procedures, automating manual tasks and minimizing errors.
Design and document the solution. Our hands-on approach facilitates a positive and collaborative environment when it comes to new processes. Let's face it, we are all resistant to change to something unfamiliar. However, we design solutions with YOU in mind, and create all the necessary documentation to help guide users through the adjustment period.
Train users. We assist necessary personnel to become highly familiar with the new process or software, and provide overview level understanding for supervisors and leaders. Desktop procedures are provided as requested and process manuals are updated.
Guided launch. BlueIQ Law Enforcement Consultants guide the implementation of new solutions as well as options for continual remote support.
The Strategic Planning Process
Even the best laid plans can be interrupted or derailed by the unexpected. This is why strategic planning is a process that must be continual.
By collaborating with leadership to establish a vision or set of long term goals, BlueIQ Law Enforcement Consultants work with an agency to develop a unique framework. This new set of parameters allows current and future leaders to make decisions, operate day-to-day, and solve immediate problems with the "big picture" in mind.
The strategic plan is then something that can be modified and evaluated as the cycle is repeated on an annual basis.
We can provide customized packages and documentation to suit the needs of your agency. Strategic Planning is closely linked with several of the other consultant services we offer. Why invest in a strategic plan?
Avoid waste. Reactionary decision making often results in resources being allocated with only short-term consequences in mind. Over time, this can manifest itself in "organizational drag" or an overly bureaucratized agency.
Document achievements. Agencies that have communities as their allies can easily demonstrate how they are committed to continual improvement, as well as how they have set and achieved goals.
Effective decision-making. CEO's, command staff and leadership personnel are empowered to act decisively when a clear framework of expectations is established and agreed upon.
Strategic planning is integral within well-run organizations. Visions and goals that may exist in an abstract way may not become achievable until a roadmap is documented. Working towards these goals and accomplishing them in tangible ways aligns an agency with its community leaders.

What is strategic planning?
Strategic planning involves analyzing the immediate and long-term strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats to an agency and then formulating acheivable, quantifiable goals that can be used to measure successes.
How does strategic planning help an agency?
Strategic planning helps an agncy chart a course and make sure and stay on course over time.
It allows agency staff to identify what opportunities for improvement and risks may be encountered on a short and long-term basis. Based on these determinations, quantifiable and trackable goals can be created to ensure that progress is being made and that risks are being mitigated.
How do BlueIQ consultants assist with strategic planning?
BlueIQ consultants are familiar with the common issues facing law enforcement agencies and are able to assist chief executives in identifying them. The most important resource that they provide is assisting to develop measurable and quantifiable goals that are reviewed periodically to ensure that they are being met. Having another set of eyes monitoring these processes ensures that they are followed-up on.
When should a department engage consultants for a process improvement analysis?
Strategic planning is an ongoing process. Any time is a good time for an agency to look into their plan and determine if it is effective and if it is being reviewed.
