The discipline of defining strategy and putting it into practice can be challenging for teams and organizations. We provide strategic consulting to help organizations clarify their future, identify their best and most creative strategic opportunities and set a course forward with very specific action steps. Most importantly, we teach you how to put that thinking in a power-graphic format sothat it is simple, memorable and interesting to the rest of your organization.
The i2a: Insights to Action Thinking System is a systematic approach to strategic planning designed to engage your people in creating a shared strategy that creates alignment, commitment, and inspires action.
The five-phase process of Sight, Insight, Create, Communicate and Inspire are designed to go beyond the traditional strategic planning process to:
- focus on the rigor of the process and the caliber of the conversation
- draw on verbal and visual techniques to engage and inspire
- use large format templates to guide the process and create the forum for people to "share the air" creating engagement and participation
- develop engaging communication tools by virtue of the process
- teach strategic thinking skills beyond the subject matter
The i2a system is the result of a strategic collaboration between Tom Hood (CEO, Business Learning Institute - an affiliate of the Maryland Association of CPAs) and Gretchen Pisano (Owner, Sounding Board Ink). It has been used around the globe and across industries - businesses, non-profits, and deep inside the CPA Profession (CPA firms and corporate finance teams).
Recommended format: two (2) day interactive format customized to fit our "clients" needs including a "design session" to identify key outcomes and deliverables. |
