Learning to Lead Strategic Planning

Powerful Professional Development Workshops

These workshops introduce the Growth Management River Trip℠, customer-focused strategic planning, simplified. It’s a proven visual planning system developed specifically for management teams of growing privately-held businesses and not-for-profit organizations.

Each three-hour online workshop includes:

A participant kit with an orientation, five visual process maps with recommended meeting agendas and quick-start instructions.
An overview of the planning model which guides a planning team from issues to strategic objectives, action plans and budgeting.
Practice with the visual methodology, which can be used for in-person, virtual or hybrid settings.
Discussion of typical issues which participants face in their own organizations.
Following the workshop, participants are invited to schedule a call for assistance with preparation before planning leading their first River Trip process.

Learning to Lead Vision, Mission & Core Values Workshop

Powerful Professional Development Workshops

We’ll train you during this 2-hour online workshop to develop or update a vision for how your customer market or those you serve will evolve, how to focus the mission for your organization and how to discover the core values which already exist within your team members.

From time to time it’s important to step away from daily tasks to see your organization in a larger context, looking farther ahead than current objectives, bringing a sharper focus onto the organization’s future. This higher-altitude view of a business or not-for-profit might be triggered by:

Changes in the market or competitive situation;
New leadership, new senior team members or new board members;
Changes in funding or the economic situation;
Proposed new product or services;
Or maybe it’s just been too long since a review of the strategic direction.

Using our simple methodology and a public example (not your organization), you’ll learn to keep a planning team focused on their future direction while avoiding the pitfalls of group editing vision and mission statements or a generic values list which could apply to any organization anywhere. A River Trip process map will be mailed in advance to all participants.

$300 per person, payable by credit card in advance. This is a public workshop offered monthly. Check date availability and register here.

Or we’ll guide you and your planning team during a three-hour online meeting to update the vision, mission and core values for your own organization.

$3,000 for up to twelve participants. A River Trip process map will be mailed in advance to all participants. Includes one follow-up call to discuss communication strategies for the updated strategic direction. Please call or email us to discuss scheduling. Thanks, we look forward to working with you.
