Facilitating Retreats – for Board and Senior Management

Strategic Planning, Positioning and Competitive Response

I often facilitate Board or Senior Management retreats, planning meetings and similar events. 

While I can be entertaining in speaking situations, my goal as a retreat facilitator is generally focused on helping participants reach consensus on key organizational issues, then develop broad-brush plans for meeting those issues, based on their now-shared vision.

These events can run anywhere from a half-day to a long weekend – this can depend upon the organization’s needs, budget and priority.  Often, I’ll develop market research information in advance of the event to provide the participants with new information intended to challenge and excite them; in other cases, I’ll come equipped with sensitive information on the competition and it’s intentions.  In all cases, my objective is to engage the participants, and help them find their way through confusion and competing interests toward consensus and a commitment to the future.
