Making Strategic Planning Fun​​

Grace Social Sector Consulting, LLC, makes strategic planning fun?

Most people think of strategic planning as a marathon 8- or 10-hour or 2-day retreat.
 
You process lots of information, discuss, debate and brainstorm. You have lunch brought in so you can work without a break. You fill flip chart after flip chart with ideas.
 
Then, around mid-afternoon, when it’s time to start making important decisions, you’ve hit cognitive load. You’re mentally and physically spent.

There is a better way

​What if you took those grueling 8 or 10 or 12 hours and divided them into manageable 2- or 3-hour sessions, each of which has a contained set of goals and builds on the one before?
 
And what if you had time to reflect, think and process between sessions?

Grace Social Sector Consulting, LLC, can help you discover a new, better approach to strategic planning.
 
We know that by holding shorter sessions over a period of time, organizations will actually make progress more quickly and end up with better results. 
 
By doing one piece of the process at a time and giving participants a break between sessions, Grace Social Sector Consulting, LLC, will make your strategic planning more thoughtful, integrative and aligning.
 
And we do it all virtually.

There are so many benefits to pacing our sessions and working virtually

  • Working with more clear and defined goals groups go further faster.
  • During the time between large group sessions, participants can fully flesh out their ideas on their own or with a few others, so each person’s perspectives will be part of the finished plan. 
  • Groups reach alignment more easily and quickly because they’ve had the time and space to sift out the chaff and home in on what’s really important.
  • AND so important to budget challenged nonprofit organizations - it saves you all the cost of paying for everyone to travel to be together. It also is easier for volunteers to fit into their busy schedules.
