TES created the Eagle’s View™ plan to address the shortcomings of corporate-style strategic planning in Indian Country.
| Eagle’s View™ Plan | Strategic Plan |
|---|---|
| Community-based | Corporate theory |
| Starts with the people | Starts with the leadership in power |
| Based on real needs from the community | Based on SWOT analysis |
| Better government planning for Indian Country | Serves a corporate board of directors |
| Can outlast changes in administration | Tossed out with each new administration |
The Eagle’s View™ plan starts with gathering community input to identify the needs and wishes of the community. Then TES facilitates a solution-based process with tribal staff to identify programs and/or policies that address the needs of the community. TES then facilitates a prioritization process with the Tribal leadership. The final plan is organized in a series of reports, media, and posters designed to communicate the plan at all levels in the Tribal government and community. The result is a plan that is tailored to the unique needs and interests of each Tribe and its citizens, and a government that can operate more effectively.
