Strategic Planning

High performing companies win by design. PlayBook partners with leadership teams to design and facilitate deeply reflective, inclusive, and productive planning retreats that deliver:

• Strategic direction, vision, and mission

• 3-5 year goal-setting

• Realistic, results-based action plans

• Collaborative problem-solving

• Teambuilding

• Tools that enrich on-going plan tracking & adjustment

Our adaptive Strategic Plans clarify your vision, mission, values, core competencies, strategic priorities, and provide a detailed roadmap to guide you towards fulfilling your goals. The Tactical Plan is built on easy-to-follow steps that assign accountability and provide motivation to which everyone in the organization can commit. 

Cohesive, High Performing Teams

Unleash your team’s potential. Teams lacking cohesion, strategic clarity, and cultural alignment struggle to deliver results. Misaligned expectations, unclear objectives, and accountability gaps lead to distraction. Turf battles and disputes may surface - or worse, team meetings go quiet - and energy aimed at business goals dwindles.

We work with you to navigate these challenges, sharpen collaborative leadership skills, and gain traction. We’ll assess your management team’s challenges and then design (and facilitate) an action plan that helps you:

• Address friction and unproductive dynamics

• Gain clarity and alignment on vision, mission, and strategic goals

• Build collaborative, cohesive teams

• Eliminate ambiguity about roles, ownership, and responsibility

• Strengthen the processes and structures to thrive

• Build capacity to engage in productive debate and crucial conversations

• Establish team norms that foster unity, action, and continuous improvement
