What will we accomplish this year?
Organizational planning focuses on answering that question. And MSG provides the process that allows a group to answer it quickly and clearly.
By bringing the key people within your organization together to plan for the year, you create a culture that supports effective interaction, reduces duplication of effort, establishes trust and assures that everyone is working toward the same goals. Key people may be your management team, a department or your whole organization. No group is too large or too small. We have worked with two partners and groups of 400.
MSG provides an experienced manager to facilitate the planning session to lend guidance when needed as well as a neutral presence to assure that all concerns and ideas are included in the planning process. Our interactive processes support creative and practical thinking, moving to an action plan built on consensus.
The result: a focused plan with a your key people committed to implementation.
"A fantastic day! The energy was great and our year will be wonderful with this great start!"
Sallie Hussey, Executive Director, CASA
"Thank you for using your skillful and effective methods to direct our Issue Council discussions. While observing the dynamics of the incredibly diverse group in each session, I was amazed at your ability to guide us through the process. Our goals were immense, our hearts were passionate, and our wills were strong(!!!) and yet you managed to utilize these disparate things to form a collaborative discussion that encouraged and supported the participation of every individual in the group.
As a group, we did fine work. As a member of the group, I learned more than I imagined possible. Thank you for your service to our Council. Your professional, unobtrusive guidance was masterful."
Marsha M. Shields, President, McCombs Foundation & Co-Chair, Issue Council - United Way of San Antonio & Bexar County
