An organization needs to know where it is heading. Our consultants have guided strategic planning events for numerous private sector and public sector organizations.

 

In our workshops and consultant-led facilitations, we:

 

• Engage organizational leadership to clarify their purpose for engaging in planning and understanding what outcomes are desired, and how these fit into their larger context

• Encourage leadership to include key stakeholders in the planning event

• Determine the best-fit strategic planning methodology based on desired outcomes and maturity of existing strategy, and/or choice in the style of the approach. Techniques include developing roadmaps and action plans, organizational learning/planning via Search Conferences, Scenario Planning, Open Space Meetings, Implications Analysis.

• Ensure that the client outcomes are achieved through consensus and are complete and validated before ending the planning event.  Next steps are identified and assigned.

• Encourage and advise the client organization to establish a process for putting their plan into action, and for ensuring accountability for achieving goals and objectives, and for periodically revisiting and updating the plan.
