Strategy Days & Strategy Planning Facilitation
Leadership teams come to us when they need to move beyond busy day-to-day activity and create a shared, coherent direction for the future. Whether you’re an SME or a division within a Fortune 500, our strategy day facilitation helps you step back, think clearly, and build a plan of action that your team can deliver with confidence.
Clarity. Alignment. A practical route forward.
Who We Work With
We partner with leadership teams across the UK, Ireland and wider English-speaking markets.
Our work spans all sectors and includes:
- Boards of SMEs
- Senior Leadership Teams within mid-market organisations
- Business units and divisions of large corporates
- Teams needing a discrete strategy that integrates into a wider organisational plan
The common thread? A desire for clarity, cohesion and real progress.
The Problems We Help You Solve
Most teams already have the talent and intent. What’s often missing is alignment and structure.
Typical challenges include:
- Ineffective leadership behaviours and lack of team cohesion
- No shared vision, unclear goals, or absent 1-3-5 planning
- Too busy “doing the job” to plan the future
- Stalled growth and unclear prioritisation
- Leaders who avoid difficult conversations or strategic decisions
- Uncertainty about how to set and deploy an effective growth strategy
We surface what’s really happening — including what isn’t being said — and create the space for constructive, honest progress.
Our Approach To Strategy Day Facilitation
Every engagement begins before the day itself. We gather insight through structured pre-work to understand issues, tensions and expectations. On the day, we follow a clear chronological process, starting at the point most relevant for your team’s maturity.
Our Framework
Values → Mission → Vision → Strategy → Governance (when appropriate)
We use a blend of proven strategic tools, including:
- OKRs (Objectives & Key Results)
- 1–3–5 planning
- Strategic pillars
- SWOT (Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities & Threats)
- SMART objectives (Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, Timebound)
- Tailored prioritisation methods
Our Facilitation Style
Clients describe our style as:
- Structured and authoritative, yet approachable
- Supportively challenging — we ask the questions that need to be asked
- Adaptive: we meet teams where they are and tailor language accordingly
- Strong on participation, ensuring every voice contributes
- Insightful: able to identify the real issues beneath the surface
- Skilled in managing different personalities and dynamics
Decades of experience across sectors give us a wide lens — and a calm, grounded way of helping teams navigate complexity.
What You’ll Walk Away With
Depending on your needs and starting point, outcomes include:
- A clear, shared set of Values, Mission and Vision
- Well-defined Strategic Pillars
- A prioritised and realistic strategy
- A sequenced 1–3–5 plan
- OKRs or SMART goals
- A practical roadmap or timeline
- Clarified roles, responsibilities and governance structures
- Agreed behavioural expectations and ways of working
Teams consistently tell us they could not have achieved this level of clarity or alignment without external facilitation.
Maintaining Momentum After Your Strategy Day
A strategy day is only the beginning. To ensure progress continues:
- We facilitate 90-day planning meetings to track execution, assess progress and adapt as needed
- Optional 1:1 coaching or mentoring supports leaders with accountability, behaviour change and decision-making
- We can attend Board meetings to provide objective challenge, mediate discussions and strengthen governance
This rhythm creates sustained focus and avoids slipping back into old habits.
The Impact For Your Team
Leaders typically experience:
- A shared direction everyone believes in
- Clear prioritisation and removal of noise
- Stronger SLT relationships and better collaboration
- Improved financial and operational metrics
- Greater confidence in decision-making
- A team equipped to execute, not just discuss, strategy
