These workshops equip leaders with the tools they need to create environments where employees are empowered to contribute, and where growth happens organically through smart hiring and strategic thinking. We believe that a company’s greatest assets lie in its people and their potential.
We believe in planning that appreciates what works. In our Appreciative Approach to Strategic Planning workshop, you’ll learn how to focus on strengths rather than problems. By identifying what already works within your organization, you can build a strategic plan that’s forward-thinking and positive. We don’t believe in being problem-focused—success comes from building on what’s already great.
Imagine creating a strategic plan that highlights and enhances the strengths of your organization, leading to long-term success and growth.

Our Creating an Intrepreneurial Organization workshop teaches you how to build a company culture that encourages employees to think and act like entrepreneurs. By fostering innovation from within, your organization can continuously evolve and stay ahead of industry trends. We don’t believe in stifling creativity—great ideas come from every level of the organization.
Picture an organization where every employee feels empowered to innovate, contribute ideas, and push the company forward with entrepreneurial thinking.
We believe in hiring the right people for the long run. In our Finding, Selecting, and Retaining Employees workshop, you’ll learn how to attract, select, and retain employees who align with your company’s values and goals. By building a strong team that fits your organizational culture, you can reduce turnover and enhance long-term performance. We don’t believe in high turnover—great hires are worth keeping.
Imagine employees who not only excel in their roles but are also deeply aligned with your company’s mission, leading to a cohesive and motivated workforce.
We believe that strong relationships drive success. Our How to Keep Your Relationships with Key Stakeholders Healthy workshop teaches you how to nurture and maintain positive, productive relationships with key stakeholders, both inside and outside your organization. We don’t believe in letting relationships fade—healthy, ongoing connections are vital to sustained success.

Results: Plans were proposed for six different areas of consideration: Community Resource Development, Leadership, Budget and Planning, Education, Social Services, and Hillel.
Impact: The Madison Jewish Community Council received the William J. Shroder Award from the Council of Jewish Federations for this planning process.
