Strategic Planning
Transformation Strategies facilitates participatory strategic planning processes for community and national organizations. Our planning philosophy is to involve a wide range of players in the process to build plans that have significant stakeholder buy-in that ultimately mobilizes positive energy for implementation.
Our approach is customized to each situation and depends on the goals of the plan, the risks and stakes involved, and the time available.
Sample Strategic Planning Engagements Include:
- Conducting one-day sessions for non-profit boards
- Facilitating key breakthrough meetings to help a stalled process get back on track or work through important issues
- Crafting year long processes to chart the future of an organization that includes a strategic plan and business implementation plans.
We often draw on the following methodologies in creating strategic plans:
- Future Search Conferences
- Technologies of Participation

"Very strong facilitators – they engaged our people, offered practical frameworks, built trust and got us talking about things we tended to avoid ... we created plans that were clear and had good buy-in, which was invaluable ... lots of personal integrity." Nancy Rawles, Division Vice President HR/OD - American College of Cardiology

"Our strategic planning process involved major changes in our governance structure, bylaws and administrative rules which for a membership organization is monumental. TS facilitated crucial, break through task force meetings. They solicited input on the issues ahead of time and got agreement on the agenda, objectives and outcomes. They were masterful in keeping us focused, ensuring room for all views, and keeping strong personalities from dominating. They helped us reconcile the tensions between local and global interests and in so doing, helped build the trust necessary to move forward."
Ronald M. Seaman - Chair, Strategic Planning Task Force - American Society of Appraisers
