Strategic Planning
Contact Consulting facilitates a strategic planning process rooted in supporting meaningful, focused conversation among people who care deeply about an issue or organization. Using a modified ICA ToP™ method, our approach is participatory and consensus based. We engage all those involved to build commitment and momentum, resulting in quick and effective implementation.
We facilitate four workshops that will result in a comprehensive plan that can be immediately implemented. Our strategic planning process can be done online or in person.
