Powerful Meetings 

Our strategic planning meetings, board retreats and meeting facilitation process utilize a participative approach and we fully engage all attendees. Participants identify how they are currently approaching their work, flag obstacles, come up with solutions, and actually get to implement the solutions that make sense for their business. They are completely involved and see that their efforts are appreciated and acted upon. The end result is a vibrant action plan that is well organized and have an implementation component that positively impacts the bottom-line. The implementation component is what differentiates our strategic planning process along with the Ten Indicators of Superior Performance. Participants say, “Wow, this was a meeting worth our time, all meetings need to be designed this way!” “We focused on a process that will positively impact our business goals”.

Board Retreats

Our board retreats are well designed, so desired outcomes are achieved. Every minute is packed with useful activities so at the end of the board retreat, people feel that they accomplished what they set out to do. CCI utilizes business models that bring out productive work in all of our meetings and retreats. We include “Participative Design”, “Flow”, and “Healthy Work” that have been field tested by CCI for over 25 years. We tap into the tangible business indicators (financials and productivity) and intangible indicators (commitment, creativity, innovation and trust) so we get at the root of what compels people to excellence.

Meeting Facilitation

Utilizing a skilled facilitator is key to the success of your meetings. Facilitation is an acquired skill that takes many years to perfect. Seasoned facilitators are worth their weight in gold. If you have limited time and wish to produce results with your meetings, hire a skilled facilitator. CCI creates a productive environment, one that is highly engaging to participants. We emphasize tackling root problems. High performing groups are willing to look at these issues and see them as an opportunity for growth. Designing for a “flow” environment, where people are creative, motivated and engaged produces outstanding results. Our methods create a safe and trusting environment. Participants are motivated to do excellent work. We cultivate the talents, skills and knowledge of your meeting participants, so they give you their best!
