Contact Us When the Stakes are High
When it comes to tough conversations and the most important decisions,we help you achieve the best possible outcome
We offer facilitation services in two key areas: the first is to help leaders navigate high stakes decisions and conversations; and the second is to help drive the strategic planning process that sets a trajectory for powerful results, now and in the years ahead.
Facilitation
You think you can facilitate difficult conversations, planning sessions, and challenging issues, but you can’t. You are too involved. Lots of organizations try, and it doesn’t go well.
Don’t worry—it’s not you. There are questions you just can’t ask—questions you wouldn’t even think to ask—that absolutely need to be asked. You need an outside perspective from an experienced facilitator whose only agenda is to guide the conversation. Someone who will get all ideas on the table, and help you gain clarity and commitment.
There’s an art to skillful facilitation. As your trusted advisors, we are trained to offer honest, thoughtful, and experienced support, whatever your need might be. Our team has deep experience guiding powerful conversations in a focused, unbiased, and action-oriented manner.
The quality of your most important conversations can mean the difference between your organization’s success and failure. Pulling together a group and trying to facilitate a high-stakes session while also participating in the conversation is difficult at best—and destructive at worst. You’re simply not going to get the outcomes you are looking for and deserve. Here’s why.
Sometimes, we’re too involved and invested. And no matter how hard you try, it’s impossible to completely detach yourself from the issues. It’s not a failing or a weakness; it’s simply human nature. If you’re part of the organization, you’ve got skin in the game and that’s going to affect how you facilitate the conversation.
It takes a professional with deliberate facilitation techniques and proven models to help you get the most out of the time you’ve set aside. No matter your situation, we know exactly how to help you get the results you’re after.
Strategic Planning
The trajectory you set today as a team will shape your activities and outcomes for years ahead. We work closely with you to ensure you have the right people involved and the information you need; and we’ll make sure the process you embark on will yield powerful results.
Often, organizations know that they should have a strategic plan, but get bogged down with the process, especially in the midst of day to day tasks. The other major problem organizations face is that they think they’re talking about strategic planning, but they’re not—they’re talking about tactics.
Businesses today are challenged with communicating their strategy at all levels of the organization, and often focus only on short-term tactics instead of long-term strategic direction. The strategic planning process is critical to assess a business’s competitive advantage and value proposition, but it must also remain true to the fundamental pillars of the organization.
A powerful strategy isn’t necessarily a complex strategy. Instead, we measure strategy by its clarity and effectiveness. In turn, effectiveness is measured by how well you can execute a strategic plan. The more complex the strategy, the more complex its execution.
A solid strategy can support your organization in staying on track; creating a path towards clarity, action, and areas of growth and expansion for the business. Don’t know where to start? We have your back! Let us help you create and execute a powerful strategic plan. Our experienced team will support you in leading the facilitation; providing tools, methodology, and processes that can transform your organization!
