Synopsis of Work Performed:<br />

The Court Offender Supervision Services Agency (CSOSA) is a federal, executive branch agency<br />

created by Congress through the National Capital Revitalization and Self-Government Improvement<br />

Act of 1997. CSOSA’s mission is to enhance public safety, prevent crime, and reduce recidivism<br />

among those supervised and to support the fair administration of justice in close collaboration<br />

with the community. CSOSA engaged <strong>IGS</strong> to provide assessment, training, consultation, and<br />

technical assistance for the development and implementation of a strategic communications<br />

plan. Our top services include:<br />

Baseline Assessment:<br />

Immediately following the kick-off meeting, <strong>IGS</strong> started the research process. First the team<br />

worked with the Contracting Officer Representative (COR) to schedule one-on-one interviews<br />

with five CSOSA executives, including the director of the agency. <strong>IGS</strong> created an online internal<br />

assessment questionnaire and sent it to all CSOSA employees. <strong>IGS</strong> then scheduled three focus<br />

groups for staff and one focus group for CSOSA’s community partners. Each staff group consisted<br />

of five to eight employees from frontline staff to mid-level managers. Participants were asked a<br />

series of strategic questions that revealed valuable insights into both internal and external communication<br />

and perceptions of CSOSA throughout the agency and among key stakeholders. Interview<br />

findings were used to support market research that was conducted to identify gaps and<br />

areas of opportunity for CSOSA. Barriers with the potential to impede future adoption of CSO-<br />

SA messaging and outreach efforts were also identified during this process for further reference<br />

during the strategic communication plan development phase. Data was consolidated into a comprehensive<br />

report and presented in-person by the <strong>IGS</strong> team to the COR and CSOSA leadership.<br />

Proprietary and Confidential. This proposal response includes data that shall not be disclosed outside of <strong>Industrial</strong> <strong>Bank</strong>, and shall not be<br />

duplicated, used, or disclosed — in whole or in part — for any purpose other than to evaluate this response. 28
