Four signs you need a Strategic Planning Facilitator
Not sure if you need a facilitator to support the development of your Strategic Plan? Creating your own strategy can feel overwhelming - especially when your team holds diverse perspectives and you're right in the thick of it. When you’re part of the team, it can be hard to step back and see the bigger picture. That’s where a professional facilitator makes all the difference. We take the pressure off so you can fully participate alongside your team.
Here are a few other signs it might be time to bring someone in:
1. No shared vision: Your team is passionate - but not on the same page
2. Values aren’t driving decisions: Your kaupapa is strong, but your values aren’t clear
3. No way to measure progress: You’ve got goals, but no measures to track what’s working
4. Strategy isn’t being used: You’ve done planning before - but the strategy is not in action
If any of this sounds familiar, you’re not alone - and that’s where we come in! At AraHina, you’ll walk away with more than just a plan. You’ll co-design a professional Strategy that’s ready to activate and share with your team, your board, your funders, and the people that you serve!
