PRODUCTS & SERVICES: Seeding the Vision

WHAT IT DOES: In this half-day facilitated workshop, leadership teams give expression to a clear and expansive vision that serves as a guide for planning and communication, and as a source for inspiration.

HOW IT WORKS:A series of individual and group activities draw out new language and imagery, explore stages of growth, and define success markers for mapping progress. Recommended at the launching of a new program (to define exciting and realizable expectations), as well as mid-way through implementation (to rekindle enthusiasm and refocus on possibilities).

UNIQUE FEATURES: Distills the essence of strategic planning within a fast-paced, consensus building process. Atypical activities spark curiosity, wonder and original thinking.

SAMPLE OF USERS: The leadership team of Chicago Youth Programs; Board members from the Fetzer Institute; Board and staff of the Trinity for Excellence in Education Program (Boston); the management team for the Buell Early Childhood Leadership Program (Colorado); the Policy Advocacy and Research Department of the Federation for Protestant Welfare Agencies (New York).
