Clear visions, strategies and action plans are critical to aligning organization resources in productive directions. The Grove designs, facilitates, and implements strategic-visioning processes tailored to your needs and sense of urgency. Doing this with big-picture visuals literally transforms the process, and is a pioneering contribution of The Grove to strategy and planning work.

Our senior consultants use The Grove’s Strategic Visioning™ Process—a visual, template-based methodology for engaging an organization in combining its best hindsight and foresight in aligned action. Because The Grove employs many practices familiar to managers and strategic planners (e.g. environmental scanning, SWOT analysis, and so on), the modular activities integrate easily with other traditional planning activities. The addition of graphic visualization, facilitated by consultants with an organization-development perspective, uniquely supports breakthrough insights and new levels of understanding and commitment.

The Grove supports:

• Just-in-time visioning and strategy sessions
  
• Strategic-visioning retreats and off sites
  
• Virtual strategic visioning for distributed teams
  
• Organization-transformation processes, communication cascades, and rollouts
  
• Development of communication packages and Grove Storymaps™ to enhance all aspects of your process
  
  

“The Grove consultants are masters in big-picture thinking. They help people visualize their own futures, or almost anything else, for that matter. I have worked with them in a wide range of client settings over the last 20 years, with great success. In fact, we have integrated many of The Grove’s visual practices into our forecasts of global business, technology and health discontinuities.”
