What we came up with was a model for the community services company of the future .”
A Plan Distinct from the Rest With a plan to improve greater focus across the business and enhance their ability to meet customer needs , New Horizons has released their Design for the Future and Strategy for Success . One of the first steps in implementing these plans has been to reorient the business into a regional structure , with all roles and resources aligned in six key business divisions .
