Program Summary:

Thinking strategically is something that we all know is important; yet probably don’t spend as much time doing it as we should. It is particularly challenging when we’re working in a team-based environment.
This one-day workshop provides a series of tools and processes that keep groups and work teams moving and on track – “from creative chaos to detailed action plans”.
Anyone who leads a work group or team will benefit from this practical set of tools.

You Will Learn to:
• Involve others in decision making without digressing or getting off track
• Generate, categorize and reach consensus on hundreds of ideas in less than an hour
• Determine cause and effect relationships and identify the driving issues
• Identify and display gaps between current and desired performance in critical areas
• Utilize these tools to help build team consensus, create support for ideas, and generate buy in for action plans
• Allow team members to 'safely' contribute, openly and honestly
• Provide practical, easy to follow steps towards solutions.
