Strategic Planning

Effective planning requires a clear vision or sense of direction for your future, a solid understanding of your current status, and a willingness to challenge existing practices, habits and assumptions.   An effective process to engage participants and to achieve actionable results is also necessary, and that’s where we come in.   We will work with you to determine the specific outcomes you are seeking, barriers to success, and means of addressing them to achieve desired results.  Our customized approach to planning and implementation will help you get the maximum benefit and lasting impact from your planning retreat or workshop.

Our approach to strategic planning is based on years of experience with organizations ranging from large post-secondary institutions and industry organizations to small community boards.    We have assisted organizations including these to develop their strategic plans:

• MacEwan University (see  https://www.macewan.ca/wcm/Discover/OurPriorities/IntegratedStrategicPlan/index.htm)
• The Canadian University Survey Consortium
• Fruit Growers Society of Alberta
• MacEwan University Alumni Association
• The Alberta Baroque Music Society

Let us help you define your vision and develop a plan that leads you to success, contact Golden Sage.
