There are many benefits to doing your strategic planning session online as well as in-person.
We go over the various benefits in the video and infographic below.
We offer strategic planning services online and in person all over the world with facilitators located across North America.
Depending on your location, we may have one of our facilitators go to your location, or we might suggest working online.
Once we agree to work together on your strategic planning, we typically have a minimum of 3 weeks of pre-work, including interviews, a group survey, and document review.
From there, we'll facilitate your strategic planning process in person (2-3 days) or online (5 weeks).
Once we complete your initial strategic planning process, we'll provide a written recap in 10 business days.
Once your strategic planning process is finished, our Implementation Plans run for 12 months or more.
Our strategic planning facilitators have worked in over 30 different industries so it's very likely that yes.
That said, our process is industry agnostic as has been successful with dozens of different industries and companies big and small.
On the small chance you're in an industry we haven't worked with, we'll focus on making sure we understand important terminology and buzzwords when going through the pre-work phase, so we can quickly get up to speed.
Yes we do (at an additional cost). Depending on the needs of your organization, you may need to consult with internal and external stakeholders as part of your strategic planning process.
This conversation would also be led by one of our strategic planning facilitators.
These sessions are typically 2-3 hours long and can vary from 5-150 participants.
About 40% of the clients we work with are non-profit organizations.
This includes local, regional and national membership organizations, financial and education institutions, and mission-driven organizations.
We believe for-profits should act more like not-for-profits, and not-for-profits should act more like for-profits.
The better you do financially, the more you can do for your community. We want to help.

Don't worry, we won't tell them you clicked on this.
All our strategic planning facilitators are trained to deal with conflict and to be able to lead challenging conversations with passionate people.
Our approach to facilitation is by asking questions and having all participants reflect for themselves on the answers.
We make a point of having equal airtime, and making sure everyone feels heard.
That said, your team needs to be coachable, willing and open to participate in such a process, and if they aren't then there's nothing we can help with.
Perfect!
Whether you are a seasoned veteran of strategic planning or this is the first time reflecting on your mission and core values, our process will make sure everyone on your team participates and gets the learning outcomes and deliverables from the strategic planning process.
