Kimberly Douglas will lead you through a proven process to:

 

  • Begin with the end in mind. What do you want to achieve from your strategic planning session? What do you want your people to know, think, feel, and do after they leave? 
  • Participation and preparation. Given your session objectives, who should attend? What do they need to do to prepare and bring their best thinking to the table? 
  • Agenda design. What are the most effective strategic planning facilitation techniques to ensure that everyone fully and creatively participates in the discussion? How do we ensure commitment and execution after the session?
