Strategic Visioning Workshop
Conbrio is offering The Grove Consultants International's Strategic Visioning workshop in Dallas, Texas April 1-3, 2009. The workshop is an in-depth course in The Grove’s Strategic Visioning™ Process: a visual approach to strategic planning, decision-making and large- scale organizational change.
As the flagship application of The Grove’s Visual Planning Systems™, Strategic Visioning is a collaborative, stimulating and memorable visual experience: a refreshing change from relentless computer presentations. The workshop equips participants to incorporate a big picture, graphic way of working into their facilitation and planning repertoire very quickly. If you can write on a flip chart, you can learn to work on The Grove’s graphic templates, the foundational elements of our Visual Planning Systems.
This workshop is recommended for consultants, organizational strategists, project managers, facilitators, team leaders and process managers who may not want to draw, but wish to learn a compelling visual approach to setting and aligning direction for groups.
Strategic Visioning is also highly valuable for a division, department, team or individual developing project or business plans who wants to think and work visually. It is designed to support participants in using the graphic templates in ways that match their needs. For example, the templates can be used individually or incorporated into other planning processes such as team action planning, annual business planning, IT implementations, marketing efforts and functional staff planning.
The 2-1/2 day face-to-face workshop focuses on practice with the Strategic Visioning graphic templates and process model.
Key features of the Strategic Visioning workshop include:
- Understanding The Grove’s Strategic Visioning™ Process and the underlying principles of graphic facilitation, large-scale change, and large-group facilitation
- Practicing facilitation and recording with Graphic Guide® templates in a simulated planning process using seven core templates
- Exploring SV case studies
- Designing specific meetings and retreats using the SV Design Deck for application of the Strategic Visioning tools
- Participating in small breakout groups supported by coaching from Conbrio and The Grove’s senior consultant/trainers and feedback from peer participants
