Seven Transformations of Strategic Planning

Join us to learn about Seven Transformations of Strategic Planning.

During the COVID-19 pandemic, strategic planning became a critical need for many organizations. New challenges emerged. Interesting opportunities presented themselves. For some organizations, new financial realities required urgent action.

Yet, at the same time, many organizations struggled tremendously to find ways to perform strategic planning effectively in all-remote formats. That included the frustrations of finding that magical meeting time that would work for everyone. Long Zoom meetings where attendees quickly lose interest. Planning sessions dominated by the same strong voices time and again.

To ensure we could help our respective client organizations perform strategic planning effectively in our “new reality,” Virtual, Inc. partnered with Peoplesworth, an organizational development consultancy, to re-imagine our approaches to strategic planning. What emerged from that collaboration are new methods for strategic facilitation that have led to remarkable client outcomes and will undoubtedly remain in our playbook for the long term.

In this webinar, Greg Kohn, Chief Growth Officer at Virtual, Inc. and Jay Vogt, Principal at Peoplesworth, will share their Seven Transformations of Strategic Planning that can help your organization chart its course for a successful future.
