STRATEGIC PLANNING
The G-Group Strategic Plan ModelTM interprets the reality of an organization's current state via integrated research and evidenced-based methodologies. We produce expected deliverables in most Strategic Plan outcomes: A written document that includes a District’s Vision, Mission, Goals, and Objectives, along with a 5-7 year timeline for the plan’s implementation. It also includes a road map for aligning the plan to the District’s LCAP and school site plans. However, we go way beyond the typical Strategic Plan outcomes from three different POVs:
Our tenacious POV is to discover the culture of an organization to help articulate its values and beliefs to be the foundation for planning and execution.
We create a story (short film) of the planning experience that more effectively communicates your strategies to your team and community stakeholders.
We produce exceptional graphics, communication, and marketing materials to enlist people to know about and execute the plan.
The G-Group places a premium on a district’s culture and systems:
We articulate people’s collective beliefs, values, and perspectives and ask WHY your individuals and teams spend their precious time, energy, and resources.
We work with our clients to construct sustainable systems that will transform organizations.
We set ourselves apart from other strategic planning processes because we create a story (short film) to enlist and motivate your teachers, staff, administrators, students, and parents.
POV: What we DON’T do in our strategic planning is:
Waste people’s precious time asking them disingenuous questions they know will not be considered in the strategic plan.
Include everyone’s voice until everyone has a say, and then produce a plan that tries to please everyone and ends up pleasing no one (ending up in mush!).
Producing so many goals and measures that the plan itself is unrealistic.
Write a plan and produce a story that checks off a box.
Deliver a plan that is more operational (project plans) than more aspirational (beliefs, values, and culture).
