Our strategic planning begins with comprehensive evaluations. Too often change agents fail to effectively evaluate what is needed for an organization to successfully renew. The result is start-and-stop initiatives that never get off the ground, wasting valuable resources and disillusioning staff. Our pre-retreat evaluations save our clients time and money while maximizing staff commitment.

Through facilitated retreats and staff learning circles, we then help you plan and implement a clear future direction – a direction that will allow you to effectively navigate changes in your environment, while maintaining the aspects of your past that made you successful. As the process of renewal is ongoing, we encourage employees to meet between retreats to explore concepts and solutions.

As part of our strategic planning process, we often help organizations identify the core stories that drive their organization. For example, by uncovering its founding stories, a company or organization weighed down by red-tape can recapture the passion and values upon which it was founded — the same passion that will drive future success.
