MANAGEMENT CONSULTING AND STRATEGIC PLANNING

Survival in the video game business is often based by a game developer’s growth plan. Growing too quickly can cause insolvency.  Growing too slowing can mean missing key opportunities.  The chemistry and composition of the development team is also an important factor because the difference between success and failure is often determined by just a few individuals.

 

How a development team grows, what projects they choose to develop, and how well those projects will be perceived when completed are difficult, but strategic questions that need be answered as early as possible. Because ISM’s partners have extensive experience building product development teams and managing those teams to successful ends, we often operate as management consultants to our clients, applying our knowledge in product development, marketing, and finance to the unique situations they each face.  The results of our interaction are clearly evidenced by their success and satisfaction with our work.

Business representation is one of the best ways to have checks and balances for long term planning” ISM Client: Denis Dyack, President and Founder of Silicon Knights - Blood Omen, Eternal Darkness, Metal Gear Solid: The Twin Snakes.
