Strategic Planning
Our
Strategic Planning clients include:
In
today’s fast paced environment many organizations find it difficult to
set aside time for tackling important strategic issues. Our strategic
planning program was developed to provide organizations with the ideas
and tools necessary to create an action plan that will turn their vision
into a reality.
Whether the goal of your retreat is to develop or clarify a vision,
establish a strategic plan, build a stronger team, or set goals and
standards, Peter Barron Stark Companies will design and facilitate a
retreat that meets your unique goals and objectives and exceeds your
expectations. Prior to the retreat, a consultant from Peter Barron Stark
Companies will interview all members of the Board, as well as a
cross-section of the management team. The purpose of these interviews is
to gain a solid understanding of the organization, the goals of the
retreat, as well as the needs and goals of the individual participants.
A secondary purpose is to help clarify and crystallize topics and the
timing of the agenda.
Peter Barron Stark Companies facilitators will prepare a
comprehensive meeting agenda that will help participants stay attentive
to the current topic of discussion. Our facilitators excel at keeping
the discussion focused and moving unrelated topics to a “parking lot”
for later discussion. At each major point of the meeting, the
facilitator will strive to create an action plan that defines what will
be done, when the item will be completed, and who will be responsible
for the result.
Following the meeting, the facilitator will provide a summary of the
meeting complete with action items that were discussed. This follow-up
process helps the leader to ensure accountability and achieve the
desired results.
