soaring

Soar above the standard business chatter. It’s time to move strategic planning to its next, natural step.  Business evolution requires a higher, more committed level of understanding and communication. Well-crafted ideas instilled with focused meaning and the creative energy necessary to turn them into reality are the ally of next generation businesses.  No more SWOT, let’s SOAR instead.  Utilizing Appreciative inquiry, we believe in Strengths, Opportunities, Aspiration and Results in the new market space. 

As you infuse your strategy sessions with honest, direct conversations about today’s ‘actual’ state, small thinking that limits your conceptive ability can be discarded and replaced with an ‘anything is possible’ mentality.  Your co-created session moves to a real discussion on your approach and attaining results.  Refreshing concept, especially when strategy sessions today are often met with dismay and unmet potential.  Our team leads your team through a visionary yet pragmatic process designed to generate uncanny market awareness, focus on genuine opportunity, and add clarity on how to shift resistance into passionate probability. In short, WE helps you enlarge your strategy, your influence and your ability to magnetize the imagination and actions of employees, customers, and your community.  

The phases (faces!) of SOAR:

1. Initiate – WE create a conversation on how to integrate SOAR with your existing strategy development system. If you have not created an organizational strategy, we’ll show you how can use the SOAR methodology.
2. Inquire – We use appreciative inquiry as we delve into values and mission, internal environment strengths and external environment opportunities. We define your aspirations and intended results.  
3. Imagine – We use creative dialogue that builds upon your strengths and opportunities. We go beyond to consider aspirations and your most preferred future in a bold vision.
4. Innovate – We apply creativity as we identify strategic initiatives then prioritize them. We leverage the strengths and opportunities to achieve your aspirations and results.  
5. Inspiration and Implementation – We make the most of your organization’s energy to create commitment and tactical plans necessary to execute the strategy. Results are used as feedback measures for iterations and course corrections. Implementation involves many people with different skills, aligning competencies and linking projects together synergistically.
