Corporate Social Engagement Case Study : Invision Consulting

~ Strategy ~ Planning ~ Implementation ~

“Under Invision’s leadership and direction, our organization was able to map out an effective strategy for establishing its first comprehensive philanthropy program. Invision was able to build consensus during a time of considerable change in management, and put together a recommendation that was well received by the Senior Executive Team and the Corporate Philanthropy Task Force.

Invision's contribution was of great value to our company, and they made the process enjoyable, and were appreciative of our time and suggestions, and understanding of our challenges."

Corporate Social Engagement Case Studies:

Case Study: Corporate Citizenship

Client: Leading Internet Company (revenues
above $1 billion)
Challenge: Our Client is a top 20 global Internet company with an entrepreneurial spirit. The company was seeking a more advanced corporate citizenship and philanthropy strategy/program that could make a meaningful difference in communities and become a sustainable part of the company.
Solution: Invision designed and implemented a plan to identify advanced corporate citizenship and philanthropy programs that were aligned with the company’s values, mission and direction. We successfully conducted both an internal analysis that engaged Executive team members, and an external analysis, including benchmarking and best practice. Our strategy and planning phases were led in a way that exceeded desired goals.
Impact: We successfully designed the corporate citizenship program, including an integrated strategy and a holistic approach to achieving the social mission. The Executive Team provided feedback that the programs we created fit the company well and exceeded corporate goals. The program offers opportunities to achieve great social and business benefit.

Case Study: Corporate Diversity

Client: Leading Telecommunications Company (Fortune 50) (revenues above
$120 billion)
Challenge: The leadership team was seeking to strengthen associates’ commitment to diversity. Associates were aware of the issues surrounding diversity, there was a corporate mandate to “show a video,” but the leadership team felt that there had to be a better way to deepen the team’s commitment and to illustrate how diversity practices reverberate throughout the company.
Solution: We engaged an Executive core team and designed a model that offers a positive experience for associates and engages them in diversity issues. The program was structured to elicit traditional emotions related to diversity, without using the more sensitive topics involved. It was an inclusive and uniquely integrated program for both local and national associates.
Impact: Associates took away some very valuable experiences, and provided highly positive feedback about the enjoyable and creative nature of the program. Associates indicated that they will incorporate a greater sense of diversity within their roles at the organization & in daily life. Our program not only achieved our corporate diversity objectives, but far exceeded our goals. We believe these programs have the clear opportunity to heighten employee morale, achieve product innovation, and deliver on top-line corporate and “people” goals - and feedback indicates that we delivered on this promise in a uniquely exceptional way.

Case Study: Strategic Planning, Operational Models, Societal Change
(This case study / client initiative covers both ‘business success’ and ‘societal advancement’ imperatives. Each of these independent focus areas are included within the ‘business success’ and ‘corporate citizenship’ case study sections.)

Client: Leading Healthcare Company (revenues above $10 billion)
Challenge: Our client is a global healthcare company, with approximately 1,800+ outpatient clinic locations and a related product & service offering. The leadership team was seeking to find new ways, through the use of technology, to achieve societal and corporate objectives. Goals included enhancing patient health, engaging patients in a more interactive way with their treatments, providing an enjoyable high-tech experience that integrates entertainment with treatment, industry innovation leadership and visionary strategy. A signature initiative had been identified, with a $180M+ investment forecast. The company has not traditionally launched initiatives of this nature and scale, and the leadership team wanted to deliver the program successfully.
Solution: Invision led a comprehensive review of the strategic plan, operational models, and implementation plan. Top challenge areas and top opportunity areas were identified, with a focus on achieving our core goals above mentioned. New models, enhanced strategy, business planning, and a comprehensive roadmap was developed. Invision identified new ways to engage patients, a model to heighten enhancement of patient health (and a tracking methodology to determine awareness and outcomes), and developed a number of operational models to foster success of the initiative at-large. Within the strategic review, Invision developed the multi-year strategic plan to deliver on the core goals of the company/program, holistically incorporating the cross-functional elements needed to foster success.
Impact: Implementation for 100% of our 200 national pilot site locations completed successfully, as we head toward transformational patient health results. The models created can now carry the company through full-scale national implementation for all 1,800+ clinics. Executive feedback that the multi-dimensional strategy fits the company’s needs, and incorporates the right key element for delivering on our goals (enhancing patient health, engaging patients in a more interactive way with their treatments, providing an enjoyable experience that integrates entertainment with treatment, innovation leadership, and visionary strategy). Team feedback that the new models are a great asset to the company; E.g., several models far exceeded expectations and are a valuable tool to be leveraged for new initiatives. Implementation remains on track.
