Description:
A company’s efficiency, growth, and profitability depend on setting a vision with measurable goals that leverage strengths.

Target Audience:
Company leadership, supervisors, and key line personnel.
Learning outcomes:
Participant teams will jointly identify needs and objectives using a common development process. Developing and deploying the strategy process builds teamwork and a culture of trust and respect. Improved relationships, unity of purpose and momentum toward achievement are the outcomes.
