Strategic Planning
Our Strength-Based Strategic Planning Approach
Invite us to engage your team to:
Build a high-trust, inclusive, all-voices-heard culture where everyone has the energy, clarity, and willingness to contribute their best. Even the quiet, the naysayers, the “non-leaders,” will have a voice.
Draw inspiration from your past wins to create an environment based on positivity and growth.
Foster more innovation, so you create more products and services that grow your organization and expand your impact.
We’ve facilitated strategic planning and implementation efforts for local, national, and global organizations as small as ten to as large as thousands of staff and stakeholders.
Just a few of EnSpark’s strategic planning tools:
Appreciative inquiry, a collaborative, strategic visioning process that unleashes each person’s ability to help the organization transform itself.
Graphic facilitation, the real-time drawing of meeting content to see and activate your vision.
Adaptive leadership to foster your team’s shared vision, values, and goals.
Agile, to transfer the momentum of the planning phase into action and implementation…and convert high-level strategy into clear, achievable outcomes. Voilá: No more glossy plans that just sit on a shelf!

Leadership Development
At EnSpark, we believe that leadership is less about individual roles and traits, and more about how leadership functions within your entire organization.
We know that great leadership can happen anywhere—with anyone.
Enlist us in your leadership-development efforts coupled with our change-management expertise, and we’ll:
Harvest everyone’s enthusiasm and commitment to your organization’s why
Explore and cultivate your most important vision, so you create your next “big thing” with more energy and buy in
Align the right resources, people, performance metrics, accountability structures, decisions, and organizational priorities—so you ultimately fulfill that vision
Determine exactly what and who are needed to realize your why-driven vision
Strategically build a high-trust, high-innovation, high-performance culture where everyone walks the talk

“Teams only evolve when top leaders buy into and communicate a message of ‘This is going to help the company; this is our future.’”

Change Management
Sustaining true change requires that leadership, organizational structures, systems, and culture all work in tandem to inspire and to fuel what’s next.
EnSpark change-management strategies are: long-term + results-focused + inclusive + based on best-practice communication strategies so the change sticks long term
We’ll ensure your teams understand:
Why ongoing change efforts are critical to fueling a better future
The importance of ensuring all change efforts are viewed through a DEI lens
How and why work projects, organizational charts, staffing, workflows, performance reviews, rewards, recognition programs, training, technologies, and/or policies will be impacted over time
Individual and collective roles in achieving new objectives
Together, we’ll lead you step by step to…
Lessen or avoid change fatigue
Assess and re-invent structures and systems to best support your organizational change efforts
Foster clear, transparent, and consistent communication about what matters—and why—so you optimize buy-in across all stakeholder groups
Boost adaptability, reliability, and accountability at all levels
Balance commitment to the new changes (“This will happen”) with being too prescriptive (“It must be done this way”), so teams know how they contribute to the day-to-day shifts
In our experience, change efforts that address DEI and workplace culture are more comprehensive, generate better solutions, and ultimately, lead to faster adoption and greater success. Organizations that address DEI and workplace culture as fundamental to personal and organizational success also generate higher performance and deeper trust.
