International Advisory Services (IAS) Group, Ltd. and Plexus Consulting Group, LLC today announced the formation of an alliance which will offer a full range of international strategic consulting services to businesses, associations and governments. By doing so, the two firms will optimize the delivery of quality services to their respective clients and at the same time jointly develop new business. Under the terms of the agreement, IAS will relocate to the Washington, DC-based offices of Plexus Consulting located at 1620 Eye Street, NW. Plexus President Steve Worth noted, "While the two firms' specialties are international business and government strategy, they complement one another's skill and experience: Plexus contributes a lengthy marketing, strategic planning, and organizational restructuring track record, while IAS adds strong credentials in strategic political advocacy, public policy analysis and capacity building. The synergy between the two firms will undoubtedly benefit all our clients." Blum, President of IAS, added, "We see a bright future for international consulting. It has become increasingly risky to focus solely on your own industry, your own market or your own country. Your competitiveness as a business or as a country is more and more impacted by developments in other areas. Successful global players need the best advice based on the best information and genuine knowledge and understanding of the political, economic and legal forces at work. The Plexus-IAS partnership will enable us to impart this advantage to our clients." International Advisory Services is a trade policy consultancy that provides strategic analysis and advocacy assistance in international business-government relations. The firm is headed by Charles Blum, former Foreign Service Officer and Assistant United States Trade Representative for Industry and for Multilateral Negotiations. Together with its overseas affiliates, IAS's multilingual staff has served trade associations, governments and corporate clients around the world for fifteen years. More information about the company is available at www.iasworldtrade.com. Plexus Consulting Group is a management-consulting firm that provides marketing, management and strategic planning services to nonprofit, for-profit, and governmental entities in North America, Europe, Latin America, and Asia. Plexus's network of affiliate offices covers all these markets. Steven Worth, a 25-year consulting veteran, heads the firm. Worth previously served as the Director of International Public Affairs and Communications, Deloitte, Touche, Tohmatsu; Managing Director of Hill and Knowlton Brussels, and Press Liaison for the U.S. Senate Majority Leader's office.
