When we work with teams, we need to assess their current conditions, help them set goals for change and position them for success. Strategy Matters has developed a framework for working with three phases of intervention: assessment, goal-setting, and implementation strategies. Each phase has specific tools which can be tailored for use depending on client needs, challenges, budgets and concerns. It’s important to know which tools to use in different cases, and the criteria for selecting the right tool. In this workshop, Liz O’Connor will share Strategy Matters’ model and tools, and the theory behind the selection of the appropriate tool or model. She will use real examples from her client work with private companies, government agencies, and large nonprofits to make this come alive.
