Who should attend?
Your key leadership team and decision makers.
What will participants learn?
Instructed by Glenn Furuya, using a unique method called "graphic facilitation," participants will:
1. Gain an understanding of your customer and his needs
There are two basic questions to ask to create organizational success: Who is the customer? What does the customer need? If an organization is to thrive long-term, these questions need continual scrutiny.
2. Focus on a clear and compelling “cause”
Although carefully worded, most mission statements are ineffective. The secret is to craft a simple, memorable and engaging focus with the fewest possible words or through a evocative metaphor. What is your organization’s core purpose and how do you make it sticky?
3. Craft an inspiring stretch goal
| When President John Kennedy challenged the nation to “land a man on the moon and return him safely to earth…before this decade is out,” he gave us a BHAG or Big Hairy Audacious Goal. What is your organizations stretching toward? |
4. Build an incomparable point of distinction and brand
An organization that attracts customers and tops its competition is one that stands apart from the crowd. It offers a one-of-a-kind proposition that competitors cannot deliver. What is this point for you?
5. Identify pivotal “bifurcations”
A bifurcation is an organizational strategy designed to meet the changing needs of your customers. What are the critical transformations required to thrive in this world of constant change?
