#1: We customize your program
Rolling out a strategic plan is a high impact item. We understand that you are investing in your organization’s future and want to be sure you spend your time and money wisely.
What makes us unique at Visioning In Action is the emphasis we place on creating customized solutions for our clients. We create a solid foundation for all of our recommendations and all of the work we do with you by conducting a needs assessment up-front. This provides us with invaluable information about your organization, program participants, industry and the context in which you operate so that we can customize the session to suit your particular needs.
#2: We promote active participation
It is imperative to set the stage for optimistic and open dialogue among program participants. We actively engage everyone involved in the strategic planning process before we meet as a group to ensure participants arrive to the session prepared and excited to begin.
By conducting a needs assessment and sending people a welcome package ahead of time, we create the opportunity to:
- Clarify expectations of the session
- Garner enthusiasm and “buy-in” for the strategic planning process
- Establish rapport with the facilitator
- Identify commonalities and differences in perception of your organization’s key strengths, challenges and future growth potential
- Detect particular issues or concerns that individuals may be reluctant to voice in a group setting
- Optimize our in-session time by inviting participants to complete some preliminary work and thinking
#3: We specialize in aligning visions with goals and action plans from the top down
Many companies offer strategic planning, team building OR executive coaching. We differentiate ourselves by specializing in infusing a consistent message throughout your organization.
