THE LEADERSHIP STRATEGYSURVEY & WORKSHOP
"The most brilliant way to improve your strategy and team."
Engaging your leadership team in a strategy survey and workshop is a transformative approach to elevating your company's strategic direction. This process meticulously examines each facet of your company's strategy, inviting leaders to articulate their viewpoints, identify potential challenges, and propose innovative solutions. Through the survey phase, leaders not only internalize key business model and strategy concepts but also activate their strategic thinking capabilities. The aggregation of their insights lays a solid groundwork for the subsequent 6-8 hours of a strategy workshop, spotlighting areas of strategic priority, uncovering misalignments, and fostering a rich collection of ideas and essential inquiries.
The 8-hour strategy workshop (can be done over a day or broken up into 2-3 sessions) led by Joe Newsum is an immersive and transformative experience, designed to dissect and refine the strategic direction of a company through a collaborative and insightful engagement of its leadership team. Throughout this intensive session, leaders delve into the core aspects of their company's strategy, from its foundational mission, vision, and values to the intricacies of its business model and competitive landscape. Joe's expert facilitation encourages deep reflection, critical evaluation, and innovative thinking, enabling leaders to articulate their perspectives, identify challenges, and propose actionable solutions. This process is significantly enhanced by the insights derived from a preliminary strategy survey, which serves to highlight areas of strategic focus, reveal misalignments, and stimulate a rich dialogue around a portfolio of new ideas and essential questions.
In fostering an environment where trust, open dialogue, and mutual respect are paramount, Joe ensures that the workshop transcends traditional strategic planning sessions. His approach not only facilitates a profound exploration of strategic possibilities but also unites the leadership team around a coherent, shared vision for the future. The workshop culminates in the development of a strategic action plan, distilled from the collective wisdom and commitment of the team. This plan lays out a clear roadmap for navigating the company's strategic challenges and opportunities, positioning the leadership team to drive their organization forward with renewed confidence and clarity. Through this process, the team emerges more aligned, strategically informed, and prepared to implement their unified strategic vision, marking a pivotal step towards achieving organizational excellence and sustainable growth.
