Services:
Strategic Vision -- Charting Your Organization's Future
Tired
of retreats that produce dust-gathering tomes full of buzzwords and
unrealistic goals? Seahawk provides retreat facilitation and strategic
consultation for leaders who are not satisfied with the status quo and
for organizations that want to produce tangible results from strategic
planning efforts. You can benefit from our 25-year track record of helping
organizations understand their current reality, imagine a "future perfect"
state, and develop bold strategies to clearly define your value proposition.
We also help you define specific action steps and timetables to begin
the implementation. Imagine actually getting something done at your
strategic planning retreat!
Typically held off-site, Seahawk retreat facilitation goes far deeper
than the typical strategic planning session. We "hold up a mirror,"
to help you dig deep into strengths, weaknesses, values and competitive
dynamics, inviting intense focus on your organization's (or brand's)
fundamental reasons for being. We will help you dust off the cobwebs
of rigid thinking, challenge assumptions and work with your team to
cast a new vision for the future of your organization, with specific
action steps identified to get there. The end result -- a plan that
is both forward-looking and realistic, and a system for implementation
that holds people accountable for results.

Rather than produce a big, fat document that quickly gathers dust on bookshelves, we help you design a strategic management system that fits your culture, and incorporates milestones to measure progress. | |
We use a variety of proven exercises and processes to get participants
involved, thinking creatively and constructively. By working together
productively to achieve a high level of results, the team building and
bonding that take place are important additional benefits. Your board
or team will view each others' contributions and unique strengths in
new ways. We believe strongly that this type of team-building is far
stronger than "pure" team-building retreats that string together a series
of activities and exercises.
Seahawk works at the board, executive, divisional, department or team
level, with group sizes ranging from as few as 3 or 4 to as many as
75 (with multiple facilitators). Our experience includes Fortune 500
corporations, national nonprofit boards and staff, small businesses
and professional services firms. You will work only with senior facilitators,
all of whom have extensive business backgrounds, plus superior retreat
facilitation skills.

To begin our work with you, we will interview key people to get a qualitative assessment of today's "reality." We will then design your retreat to achieve the results you seek. On site, you will experience expert retreat facilitation that will lead your team into an exciting, forward-looking view of the future, with clear plans and milestones to achieve it. What good is a strategic plan if nothing gets done? With Seahawk retreat facilitation, you can feel confident that your strategic planning off-site will be one of the most productive -- and bonding -- endeavors that your team will undertake. Planning the future of your organization is important enough to entrust to the finest retreat facilitation available. Experience the Seahawk difference.
Seahawk will work with you to provide a candid assessment of your organization's current strengths and weaknesses: resources, people, competitive positioning. We will then design and facilitate sessions with your key people to present our findings, strategic assessment and specific recommendations for increasing revenues and profitability. This in-depth approach utilizes our highly experienced team of management professionals to provide additional insights to your organization from a third-party perspective. Each project engagement is totally customized.
