Think. Expedite™
 

half day to two day workshop
 

Do you want board members to walk away energized? Ready to think and  work differently? Before we start, we’ll help you identify specific  outcomes—as simple as developing a list of board roles and  responsibilities or as complex as understanding the boundaries of your  vision. In this workshop, each board member will learn how they can make  a difference. They’ll discover ways to think differently about the  board’s leadership role in the twenty first century, and have tools that  will help them work as a cohesive unit to forge new directions for your  organization.

Lead Different: Change or Else™
 

half day to three day workshop
 

Do you continue along with business as usual—management based on  yesterday’s paradigms—or do you make a fundamental change in the way you  lead and manage your organization? Participants will be exposed to  different ways to think and communicate about innovation and change.  They’ll have fun, learn the value of thinking out-of-the-box to better  anticipate and lead change in everyday work situations.

Board Self-Assessment

Strengthen board performance by assessing the following areas among others:

• CEO selection, support, and performance
• Financial oversight and risk management
• Resources
• Integrity and accountability
• Strategic planning
• Board performance
• Public reputation
• Programs and services

Gathering information to determine where you  are today is the baseline that will help you define where you need to be  in the future. Complete our electronic MissionVisionAudit as the  first step to understanding. Facilitated discussion sessions will then  direct your organization’s thinking toward shared purpose, common  language, and a perspective about what your future can be.

With the results of the MissionVisionAudit, a facilitator will guide discussions in the following areas: 

• Organization’s current direction
• How widely it’s supported
• Where the organization is headed if it continues on its current path
• Role of stakeholders
• Vision boundaries
• Critical issues
• Major changes
• Possibilities
• Future development
