ToP® Strategic Planning

Imagine an organization that has been struggling for years to create lasting impact in their field. They’ve developed action plans, organized countless meetings, and launched initiatives, yet something always seems to be missing. There is a disconnect between the daily tasks and the purpose. Team members cannot see themselves in the big picture.

Of The Course

When people sign up for the strategic planning course, they expect more of the same—another attempt at building a better action plan. But this time, it was different. Instead of diving straight into tactics, the course guided them through a deeper process of reflection, helping them identify not just what they wanted to accomplish but why it mattered and how they could achieve it sustainably.

Using the ToP® methods, they were able to untangle complicated dynamics and surface key insights from every team member. The course led them step-by-step through a structured process that gave an understanding of the current state, clarity and unity to their vision, dug into the barriers to success, and created a strategic direction for the next 3 years. By the end, they weren’t just equipped with an action plan—they had a roadmap for navigating complex change. Their goals now felt attainable because they had built a strong foundation of consensus, commitment, and strategic foresight.This course takes organizations, coalitions, and communities beyond traditional planning and empowers them to tackle deeper challenges with confidence and collaboration.

Learn to help groups:
