Strategic Planning Sessions
Using the ICA Strategic Planning method, ParticipAction can bring its process-expertise to assist, in a short time (two full days), a group of up to 30 to define its vision and develop a manageable number of key strategies to reach that vision. The method helps an organization by:
- Developing a common vision for the future with strategies, solutions, and action plans to achieve that vision
- Developing greater commitment and ability to implement decisions and strategies
- Producing more innovation -- a larger portfolio of ideas
- Providing a common framework for decision making, communication, planning, and problem solving
- Encouraging initiative and responsibility
The key outputs of the process are a clear and common vision and short term plans to achieve that vision. ParticipAction complements this work with a variety of other facilitated techniques for organizational or project analysis (namely SWOT, the Wall of Wonder - a timeline of the history and future of the organization or project, Customer and Competitor Analysis, Graphic Facilitation, among others) in order to give the organization a full view into its future.
