Strategic Planning Basics
Take ten giant steps instead of five baby steps.

When it works, strategic planning is a creative and participatory process that engenders new insights and helps organizations pursue their mission with renewed vigor and commitment.

This workshop will provide hands-on practice with the fundamental tools and techniques of strategic planning. Participants will explore the motivation, group dynamics and other issues that are critical to successful planning. Participants are asked to bring a small project to practice for the planning process.  Topics include:

  • Discover the value of your organization’s values
  • Revisiting mission and vision in ways that get you the BIG “Ah-Ha”s
  • Collecting data that gives you the information you need
  • Moving from the potential to the now through situational analysis
  • Finding the key actions that take you ten giant steps toward your vision.
  • Learn to create SMART goals and objectives and strategic change
  • Learn about processes that create living plans that get implemented and work instead of collect dust.
  • Discover the value of Evaluation: Knowing when you’ve done IT.


Getting Ready for Strategic Planning

While it is good to jump into a planning process with both feet, you and your organization will get closer to the goals you want to reach if some planning for your planning takes place. We’re not kidding. How do you get to the point where you are ready for strategic planning? What is involved in creating a successful user-friendly plan that will produce positive results? We will...

  • Explain the different types of planning and how to find a process that fits you.
  • Discuss what you need to know about your organization and its environment
  • Discuss what kind of resources will need to be marshaled for the process to be successful.
  • Talk about questions that need to be answered before beginning.
  • Outline information that has to be gathered within and outside your organization to ground the process.
  • Discuss when to use a consultant for planning.
  • Talk about what you can do to make your strategic plan more than a dusty old document - how to make it live and transform your organization into its ideal future.

Participants will leave with a draft plan-to-plan for their organization.


Advanced Facilitation Training 1.5 day format

This workshop is designed for experienced facilitators who want to expand their ability to create an environment where real work gets done with teams, groups and organizations. The seminar is designed to augment the facilitator’s existing knowledge base by offering additional theoretical frameworks and approaches; working with self awareness, presence, and group dynamics. This seminar provides a safe and highly interactive process for practice, application, and experimentation.


Cultural Competence in the Work Place

The complexities of globalization require that we go beyond sensitivity to culture, race and ethnicity, gender, class and sexual orientation. This workshop supports participants in getting in touch and making contact with the underpinnings of our assumptions and our culture so that we are confident in being able to honor differences, accept mistakes and understand our reactions to the circumstances that we find ourselves. Special attention is paid to the American experience of prejudice and racism, its context and its current subtleties and impact on people of color in business settings.  For nonprofit and governmental agencies, special attention is alsp given to client-provider dynamics.
