What are Strategic Doing Workshops?
Strategic Doing Workshops guide collaborative networks that generate innovative solutions and create shared value. Workshops use a strategy discipline that is lean, agile, and fast—just what organizations, businesses, universities, communities, and regions need to survive and thrive. In many cases, it can become an “agile strategic planning” process to replace time-consuming, expensive plans that may never get activated. By the end of the workshop event, the participants will each have an action step and a time to meet. Your plan is underway often in less than 4 hours. The workshops to date have included as few as 6 and as large as 200 people.

What are people saying about Strategic Doing Workshops?
"My work as an urban planner changed after experiencing a Strategic Doing workshop. The workshop experience and subsequent work helped me see how to co-create and advance ideas and strategies with others. As a result, I've embedded the ten agile leadership skills into my practice to help clients develop actionable roadmaps to implement their projects. If you have waning hope in addressing challenges or are frustrated by previous change initiatives, then I encourage you to experience a Strategic Doing workshop." -- David A. Sidney, Place Foundry
