Overview
- Regardless of goals, there's one thing that can be said about every strategic planning process: The stakes are high. So you need to get equipped with a complete and agile toolbox of facilitation techniques and skills. How can you get the right people—and get them to actively contribute? How can you prevent assertive personalities from taking the session off–track? How can you make sure your goals are effectively defined and that you have all the right elements in place?
