efficiencies and effectively manage costs
by improving enterprise-wide resource
allocation and streamlining processes
using feedback from various behavioral
research techniques.
To assist the Agency in accomplishing
the goal outlined in the Strategic Plan,
the Wage and Investment Division
continuously maintains a ‘‘customerfirst’’ focus through routinely soliciting
information concerning the needs and
characteristics of its customers and
implementing programs based on the
information received. W&I Strategies
and Solutions (WISS), is developing the
implementation of a Behavioral
Laboratory to identify, plan and deliver
business improvement processes that
support fulfillment of the IRS strategic
goals.

improvements in service delivery based
on feedback provided by taxpayers and
