A better approach to
strategic planning

Good leaders know strategic planning is essential to align your team on a vision of the future amidst uncertainty and change. Great leaders know you can’t co-create that vision and play neutral facilitator at the same time. That’s where we come in.

It takes a strategist to facilitate strategy.

A strategic planning session is more than just another meeting. When done well, it can shape your organization’s future and activate your team around it. That means you don’t just need a facilitator to guide it, but a strategist — someone who can push your team to think big picture while also identifying risks, gaps, and blind spots.

Our strategists draw on Kinesis’ 20+ year track record of working with owner-operators in moments of change. We understand the organizational complexities and leadership dynamics at play, and bring a tried and tested set of formats that give structure, pace, and energy to a session.

Personally and professionally, I don’t ever want to try and facilitate my own strategy again — first, it takes way too long and second, it is so perfect to be able to join the strategic planning as a leader / owner / participant, and not our facilitator. Kinesis helped us organize and deduce our thoughts, and put things into manageable, tangible, reachable goals  — and also did a great job of pressure-testing some of our ideas. We were
blown away.”
