Sure, you need a document.  But most companies needs a stronger strategy, better alignment and a dose of excitement about the future.

When you use us to facilitate your strategy session, we fully commit.  We research your market, we craft the very best session questions and we come up with ingenious and creative activities to cut through to the value.

You don't just write a document.  You create new possibilities, capture exciting opportunities, identify improvement priorities and align your teams behind a plan of action.

How we approach an event

​

Understand.  In order to deliver a great session, we need to develop insights as to what would help you most.  What are the key planning and strategic issues in your business and industry?  What are the market forces shaping customer preference?  What innovations are on the horizon? What opportunities – for growth, for improvement - are you seeking to capture?  How will the plan become operational in the business?

 

Design.  Then we develop an agenda.  We make sure it is appropriately focused and balanced with a variety of input and exploration methods.  We disucss and refine it with you.

Run.  On the day, we will run the session in a highly engaging way – taking it way beyond your average boring meeting.  Our aim is to get everyone engaged and provide creative ways to process information, formulate plans and take decisions.

 

Report.  We are often asked to write up the workshop to capture your directions and decisions.  This can take many forms – from traditional report to a series of pictures created by our graphic facilitators.
