Preparation for designing a strategic plan that transforms.

Designing a strategic plan that is sustainable requires utilizing tools and strategies that are relevant to your organization’s unique mission and are rooted in resilience. Resilience offers the ability to face challenges in a way that invites the necessary discovery, direction and determination for individuals, teams, boards and organizations to lead well, execute the plan, especially during challenge. This strong foundation guides the designing of strategic plans that inspire those people called to activate the plan.

This interactive consult leverages a research-based framework of three components that build
resilience to design the plan from. Each component focus: reframing, relevancy, and relationship,
include exploring why the component matters to activating the mission, offers guided group
interaction and tools that create energy and direction in creating the plan.

Whether you are developing a strategic plan with a leadership team or board, it takes energy and
focus. Capacity is low, commitments high and so to design strategic plans that are sustainable,
practical and impactful require attention to the people who are planning AND the plan itself. Sandy can facilitate the journey in ways that are authentic to your organization and the people who are impacted by the success of your plan.
