STRATEGIC PLANNING
An organization’s strategy for sustained growth and development involves evaluating and assessing current environments, protocols, procedures, processes, perceptions, ideas, and beliefs, and using this collection of information in strategically planning for more effective operations and management. Necessary changes very often require greater accountability, can lead to improved efficiency in processes and protocols, and ultimately result in ongoing and sustainable success in achieving established departmental goals and community objectives.A good consultant/facilitator will:
- Ensure that your strategic planning process is progressive, inclusive, efficient, and effective.
- Help you establish goals and objectives for your process that are meaningful and achievable.
- Customize a process and plan to match your specific need, desire, & unique circumstances.
- Effectively lead interviews, community forums, sessions, activities, and workshops, while guiding progress with energy and skill.
- Guide your team through the process of establishing a clear vision, mission, & mandate, while making constructive recommendations in establishing a confident organizational structure.
- Accomplish strategic direction, while considering short, medium, & long range action plans.
- Maximize interdepartmental collaboration and support, while allowing for community input and maintaining administrative/management direction.
LEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT
Leadership is a powerful tool that often results in competitive advantages. We believe that intentional training and development provides unique and valuable opportunities to enhance and refine leadership competencies. We also believe that part of a responsible organizational culture in any community should be leadership development for competition and beyond.
In close consultation with designated authorities, our team will devise an individualized and integrated plan for leadership development that allows for the active engagement and involvement of staff, membership, and/or community stakeholders in the process of a special series of carefully planned activities that promise to support organizational goals and objectives. Standard meetings and plans can be complimented by our special events, interactive workshops, and/or engaging community forums, and in combination, are guaranteed to build strong teams and help prepare participants for the variety of opportunities to effectively lead at the organizational, and community levels.
There are a variety of definitions for leadership:
- Leadership is "organizing a group of people to achieve a common goal."
- Leadership is the “process of social influence in which one person can enlist the aid and support of others in the accomplishment of a common task”.
- "Leadership is ultimately about creating a way for people to contribute to making something extraordinary happen." Alan Keith
- "Effective leadership is the ability to successfully integrate and maximize available resources within the internal and external environment for the attainment of organizational or societal goals." Ken Ogbonnia,
TEAM BUILDING
Team-building can often be considered one of the most important challenges in an organization’s long term development and success, yet so many stakeholders express dissatisfaction, and even frustration with their past experiences in this regard. We believe the right facilitator can make all the difference in the world!
