Case Study
DLR Group

Project Type

  • Visioning & Strategy
  • Meeting Facilitation

Key Tools

  • Graphic Guides®

The DLR Group—a national architectural firm—needed to agree on a common vision and action plans. We used our Strategic Visioning™ Process, including six Graphic Guides®, to assist DLR in achieving this result. An initial two-day offsite facilitated by our consultants produced a history map, a context map, a SPOT analysis, and a vision, and identified six bold initiatives to which DLR was ready to commit. A second offsite session yielded six Graphic Gameplans, one for each initiative. Copies of these Graphic Guides were given to each office and provided a set of agreements to focus on in moving forward.

“The work was so successful that DLR Group invited The Grove back to repeat the process five years later.”
