International Strategic Management, Inc. (ISM) is a leading U.S. advisory and consulting services provider within the economic development arena. We train, advise, and support owners who are looking to grow.
We support entrepreneur support hubs and economic development organizations through program facilitation and ecosystem development.
TRAINING THE NEXT GENERATION OF ENTREPRENEURS
ISM, Inc. works in four practice areas – what we call “Pillars of Business” – that frequently weave together:
Entrepreneurship was the foundation of every major business on the planet, and the entrepreneurial spirit continues to drive the economies of every country in the world.
There is no such thing as “standard business practice” when you’re interacting with clients on other continents, or hiring staff from around the globe, but you can capitalize on the global economy.
Companies in the technology transfer and commercialization arena face unique challenges that other start-ups and small businesses do not. ISM mentoring & training programs make the difference.
Community service and volunteerism are an investment in your community and its people. Volunteering provides valuable community services, gives you professional experience, and brings people together to strengthen the community.
WE WORK GLOBALLY
Having consulted leaders in nearly every continent, ISM expertise is truly global. We've set up accelerators, tech transfer offices, facilitated workshops, and developed programs to foster the entrepreneurial spirit around the world. We work directly with entrepreneurs and with organizations supporting entrepreneurs around the globe including for profit and non profit businesses.
