Are your strategy workshops falling in to these traps?

All ideas and

no action Failing to allow time on the agenda for action planning, or

failing to follow up and implement after the workshop

Packed in like

sardines Trying to pack too many topics into your workshop, or packing

too many objectives into your business strategy

Veering off

topic

Constantly getting bogged down in the detail, or going into

solution-mode, so that it becomes impossible to get through

your scheduled agenda

The wrong

room Fresh ideas need a fresh environment. A stuffy, everyday

boardroom will stifle your team's creativity

Too many

cooks Having too many attendees, or too many people trying to

direct discussion will make it hard to stay focussed

implement

and commitment to delivery

were very much appreciated

and helped us stay on track.

The flexibility you afforded us

when discussions needed to

take longer was right on the

mark | Cassandra Hewett,

Deputy Group ML Risk Officer

Your business knowledge was

apparent and your clear

direction throughout the day

helped us stay on track and

meet some clear objectives for

the group moving forward.

We achieved a lot in a short

period of time and I felt your

calm and assertive nature

encouraged thought and

positive discussion.
