Strategic Planning

Board members and staff of high functioning organizations are busy people. It’s hard to find time for in-depth strategic planning. We have designed a one-day format to help busy make strategic decisions.

We can do multiple shorter sessions if your group cannot get away for a whole day, or longer engagements over time.

Often in advance of strategic planning sessions, we survey board members, staff, stakeholders, and/or customers to help decision makers understand deeper views and wider perspective on the issues. We can conduct focus groups, one-on-one interviews, and written surveys to gather input.

For your investment you can expect:

– Shared understanding of major issues facing your organization
– Deeper appreciation for the environment in which your organization operates
– Clarity on what distinguishes your organization from others
– Clear sense of where the organization is heading and specifics on how to get
there
– Enthusiasm for working together to achieve common goals
– Specific “to dos” for key players

Shortly after your strategic planning session we provide you with a Draft Strategic Plan and/or Statement of Strategic Direction based on information shared and decisions made during the session.
