Business Strategy Planning workshops
How do Business Planning workshops for Leadership Teams help?
They're based on the Business Planning carried out by the most successful companies.
We start with where you are today: Current State
We'll define where you want to be: Desired State by when
Figure out the improvements you'll make to get from one to the other
Sounds Simple? It is…
The art is in the facilitation , the research and the set up of the workshops
What are the benefits of Business Planning the Rainmaker way?
The team builds the plan themselves
In the building of the plan they build their commitment to the actions.
Each member of the team is given the chance to come up with ideas
Each idea is focused on how to improve performance
The team end with an easily communicated plan
By reviewing their shared plan they will steer towards their goals
What kind of activities and exercises will be in the workshop?
- Identifying the forces acting for and against you
- Collecting everyones ideas as to how best to progress
- Ordering all of the ideas into a priority few
- Cascade actions and measures down through the team
- Second level planning down to specific actions and owners
What will you walk out with after the workshop?
- A shared understanding of the current situation
- A co-created vision of where the team needs to get to in the future
- A shared set of values of how you would like to manage the team
- A shared plan of how you will move to your desired state
- The reviewable plan will steer the team towards your goals
- The format will look similar to this....
