ENTRUST’s comprehensive, integrated approach to planning ensures you get
exactly the infrastructure you need today and for the future. Our smart
planning approach focuses on purpose and strategic goals rather than
technology to maximize benefits and minimize costs and risks. The geographic
scope is flexible, focused locally with broad regional collaboration.
Planning starts with assessments to determine your current situation and
identify options. The appropriate set of assessments are assembled into
future-focused strategies and thorough studies for leaders to make informed
decisions about how to move forward.
Once a strategy has been selected, we add details to create plans that are
practical to implement and evaluate. Plans may focus on operational
improvement, public services, revenue generation, and/or “Smart City”
technologies. They include tactics for economical deployment and use,
including key opportunities to accelerate development, critical risks and
success factors, and tactics for dealing with contingencies. The Planning
team serves as trusted advisor for strategy, engaging and handing-off to
other ENTRUST teams to meet clients’ needs through phased execution and
evaluation of results.
