Here are some testimonials from satisfied clients
Strategic planning facilitators are available for meetings in the USA, Canada and internationally. We can also facilitate strategic planning sessions virtually via Zoom.
We have strategic planning facilitators located across the US and Canada.
Whether you use a strategic planning facilitator virtually or in person your team will leave will clarity and alignment around your vision, mission, strategic priorities, goals and actions.
Having your strategic planning process virtually is best for distributed teams or teams that have logistical challenges with committing for 2-3 full days.
The main benefit of a virtual strategic planning process is that your team can have time and space to digest between sessions, and there are significant cost savings by avoiding accommodation and travel costs.
The benefits of having a strategic planning process in person are the team-building component and the amount of work that can be completed in a short period.
We believe the benefits of an in-person strategic planning process outweigh the costs, and our job as facilitators is to maximize the value of your investment of time, money and energy.
