Our Mission: To guide our clients towards collaborative and productive idea generation and decision-making by expertly providing the best possible facilitation, training, and team-building services for high productivity and engagement in the workplace.
Our strategic planning facilitators combine the best practices of visioning, team alignment, and strategy development to help your executive team clarify goals, define breakthrough strategies, and commit to aligned action.
We guide your team through a collaborative, structured yet creative process that draws on proven models and tools to produce a clear and actionable strategic plan—grounded in the past, informed by the present, and inspired by the future.
Reflect on the Past
We begin by exploring your organization’s history to build shared understanding and common ground among participants.
Define Mission and Values
Together, we refine your organizational purpose, scope, and values—ensuring clarity, alignment, and a strong foundation for decision-making.
Analyze the Present
We facilitate a collective analysis of internal strengths and weaknesses, external opportunities and threats, future trends, and customer needs—both internal and external.
Envision the Future
Using creative thinking methods, we help your group imagine a bold yet practical vision that inspires commitment and innovation beyond the usual “box.”
Set Goals and Tactics
Based on your vision, we will establish key, broad goals.
Create tactics
We turn vision into reality by establishing strategic goals, concrete tactics, and clear next steps—supported by our optional Follow-Through Process to ensure accountability.
Problem Solving
We will facilitate your team’s problem-solving, idea generation, and decision-making meetings. Ensures that everyone contributes and collaborates. Meetings are always highly productive. Your team will collectively define the problem through a process we call “focusing.” Your team will then go through different activities that will take you out of your normal way of thinking (commonly referred to as “out of the box”), where your team will generate loads of solutions. Your team will then decide on the best solution (s).
We use a variety of approaches to guide you to solve problems, including CPS, SPRINT, Kepner-Tregoe, and our own Aha! Problem Solving Process.
Decision Making
We will facilitate your group through several processes, both intuitive and rational, to create a collective decision that all your team members will fully support.
