InService: An Outward Expression of Our Internal Values

So our corporate vision is "Advancing the Global Good." Everybody wants to do that, right?

By placing global issues such as Affordable Housing, Cyber-Security, and Warfighter Support at the center of our consulting model, InScope International demonstrates that our finger is on the pulse of the international community. We are not going to continue to sell outdated and obsolete capabilities, or seek out business in fading industries. Instead, we are aware of that the international community faces borderless challenges that span geopolitical boundaries, and want to get involved in tackling these challenges. InScope International is dedicated to our desire to advance the global good.

Perhaps now skepticism come into play. Some of the issues the world faces are just too big for a small business to make a difference! This is where InScope International is different. Our actions within any given business day at InScope are also played out in the way we give back to the community. We give back to people, organizations, and programs that also strive to advance the global good. And we even have a program designed to directly support InScope's vision of advancing the global good- not only with our words and business, but with our actions.

> Example: We go weed the garden and organize the donation room at the Fisher House in Washington DC. We helped make a house into a home, for families of wounded or recovering warfighters. Though the gesture seems small, InScope matching their actions with their words. We aim to protect and support warfighters, and by giving back to Fisher House, warfighter families are the best support a warfighter could want.

> Example: InScope is a sponsor for the Fannie Mae Help the Homeless Walkathon. We believe in this cause not only in our consulting work during the day, but we truly desire advances in the global issue of affordable housing.

> Example: Multiple InScope employees would prefer to exchange a portion of their Paid Time Off for a charitable contribution from InScope to an organization of their choice. Their are literally donating their time and money to advance the global good.


The InService program is an outward expression of InScope International's internal values. Our actions match our words and match the core of our consulting model. We do truly desire to "Advance the Global Good."

All Moved In!

Sorry for the delay! InScope has been undergoing quite a bit of change over the summer! Here's what you missed:


InScope International is getting settled into their new office space, their new name, and their new brand. For over a month now, InScope Solutions has relaunched as InScope International, a mission-centric consulting firm. Our office move reflects the direction we are heading as a company: innovative, green, and equipped with industry-leading features...

An earlier blog gives a sneak peak at the office space during construction. Here is the finished product!

Walkway to enter the home of the professional staffing team, the public initiatives team, and the ITO team.

Here it is! The home of Professional Staffing, Public Initiatives, and ITO.


This is our main conference room, the Richard E. Bryd conference room, named after the Admiral who explored both the north and south poles.


Kevin Cassidy getting moved into his new office.


Both sides of the office have huddle rooms, designed for collaboration and quick meetings within and across the different organizations at InScope. A lot of brainpower has already been expended in these four walls!


This is our beautiful cafeteria, where InScope employees now can enjoy lunch together, not eating at their desk.

This galley is designed for more huddle spaces, each booth equipped with power and computer outlets.

This is our Walter Reed Conference Room, named after the Army MD who discovered the cause of yellow fever. This room is uniquely built with a window to view into the Innovation Center, where current and future projects will be housed to demonstrate to clients.

Since we have so many employees outside of the Reston HQ, we built a hotelling office for those who come and visit!

More cubes, on the side of the office which houses Technology Innovation, Mission Systems, HR, Finance, Communications, and, of course, CEO Mike Bruce.

We underwent more than just a name change and an office move. With mission-centric consulting, we are undertaking a whole new approach to business. Instead of aligning as a capabilities-oriented firm, or an industry-driven company, we seek to advance the global good in the consulting we provide. Of course, we do want to be able to define our capabilities and be strategic about the industries we pursue, but what matters most to InScope is the global issues behind the clients we serve. InScope International places global issues at the core of its consulting model, aware that the international community faces borderless challenges that span geopolitical boundaries.
