Vision-to-Action Collaborative Planning

Facilitation to support shared vision & committed action

Collaborative planning takes more than good intentions. An agenda that clearly targets desired results, proven strategic planning models, and skilled facilitation can help stakeholders from multiple organizations produce an action-oriented plan that reflects and strengthens their shared vision and accountability..

‘Vision to Action’ services combine sponsor consultation, stakeholder and issue analysis, and facilitation of multi-unit, organization, or agency strategic planning.  Based on outcomes identified with conference sponsors, the facilitation team will develop a customized agenda that integrates traditional strategic planning with results management pointers, high performance team-building techniques, and identification of SMART results and success indicators.  These methods demonstrate and foster collaboration as they maximize the utility of the Plan produced by conference participants.
