Strategic thinking processes

How do we think strategically about the future we want for our organisation?

Strategic thinking processes

We have worked with many teams, organisations and systems to collectively create a future vision and strategic plan.  We work alongside leaders to create a process that they can implement with our support that includes all stakeholders.  Depending on the scope of the system this can involve days, weeks or months.

Strategic thinking requires sensing the system, creating a collective vision and prioritizing future actions

Seeing the system

Exploring a wide range of factors and components to look for connections, interactions and leverage points across a wide range of stakeholder voices

Creating a collective vision

A broad system approach creates connections, synergies and collaboration where everyone voices are heard

Prioritizing future actions

Collectively deciding on a strategic approach that maximises opportunities for a way forward that the organisation can prioritize.

 

We are very willing to sit with you to explore what your needs are and what a simple and effective process might look like to get there together.
