Do you need to revise your strategic plan, but don’t have time for the traditional approach?
Have you considered facilitation by someone who excels at leading “strategic conversations” — an alternative that’s better suited to fast-paced, high-tech businesses?
Clients have turned to Informing Arts’ Christine Thompson to facilitate strategic conversations across their leadership teams for over 15 years. As a result of those conversations, some of Informing Arts’ clients have become market leaders or achieved significant exit strategy outcomes for their investors.
Here’s a recent case study: galvanizing the leadership team to plan how to overcome a significant revenue shortfall looming on the horizon.
Unconventional Facilitation
When facilitating the strategic conversations, Christine exhibits an appreciative but outside-in perspective. She’s willing to ask those tough but illuminating questions that people whisper to each other, but are reluctant to pose in high-risk public settings.
She leverages Web 2.0 technologies for collaboration and project management; and provides a framework for strategic conversations among leaders, key contributors and outside advisors. Christine applies game-storming and visual meeting techniques to enliven meetings, and spark creativity and out-of-the-box problem solving. (Game-storming explained.)
Strategic Focus
Christine is adept at helping management teams grapple with strategic challenges relating to corporate, market or product strategy — while learning to interact more effectively as a team. She understands the process, the work flow, the required deliverables, and implications for team dynamics.
Not an OD Firm
Unlike organization development experts, Informing Arts does not perform large-scale “corporate interventions.” When that is required, clients should engage an OD expert.
