Testimonials
“The ToP Strategic Planning course provides a well-defined, concrete method to guide a strategic planning process while still building in flexibility to accommodate the unique needs and dynamics of the group.”
-Lesley Reeder
Senior Consultant in Healthcare
“Simply amazing. Totally participatory by design without having to silence or purposely amplify the participants. It is a structured process that if followed will prove to be successful.”
-Ian Johnson, MBA
Workforce Development Director & Independent Consultant
“This training provides the framework for doing strategic planning that includes all voices from an organization – from the CEO to the boots on the ground – and values all voices equally. I like that groups are encouraged to think big first and then work from that towards a plan for how to get there. It’s a creative, barrier-busting method for strategic planning.”
