How to Set Strategy Like Futurists

Description:

Strategy, Planning & Goal Setting
Bob conducts strategy sessions annually for a wide cross-section of clients. Approaches are individualized for each organization based on the planning group, environment and client needs. The distinguishing factors in Bob's technique include:
  • Cutting-edge methods from Future studies.
  • Quick-paced facilitation in short time frames.
  • Facilitated, good-natured group consensus.
  • Bob's broad exposure to other companies and industries.
Some of the specific topics covered include:

Environmental Scanning

We'll set the playing field for the next year to five years in your specific industry, organization or situation. External opportunities, threats, contingencies, competitor strengths, non-forecasted competition can all be covered.

Scenario Development

The best plans are those that work within a range of possibilities. Scenarios are the alternative pictures of the future that set the boundaries for your plan. We'll facilitate the development of a set of alternative scenarios for the future. This process expands thinking, identifies opportunities, brings groups together, and develops robust plans and strategies for the future.

"Directions"

More and more organizations are seeking not a single "best plan" for the future, but a set of "directions." These overall strategic "intents" allow movement within an organization toward a range of future possibilities in terms of new markets, better processes, improved customer relationships and a stronger team effort. A unique group "mind-mapping" exercise gets more participation and develops a sharper focus for the organization.

Goal Setting and Tactical Plans

Taking the directions to the implementation stage, this is the traditional process where a step-by-step plan for the immediate future is developed. Optional in full facilitation.

Full Facilitation

All of the above steps can be facilitated for your goal setting or strategy meeting or retreat. We can add design, tracking systems and consulting to aid in after-meeting usage.
