Facilitated Strategy Session
San Francisco Achievers
Facilitated Strategy Session
Project details
What we need
- Expert third party advice on process or managerial changes, geographic or programmatic expansion, potential pivots, or general strategic planning
- Facilitation of an intensive, one-day strategic planning session with staff and/or Board
- Note: If necessary, a follow-up strategic planning session may be scheduled
What we have in place
- We currently have a framework of our new vision, which should make it easy for you to get started. We also have documentation and materials, and the ability to provide any other information you need.
How this will help
This project will save us $4,465 , allowing us to provide additional field trips for our high school students such as live performances, musicals and nature excursions.
This project will help take our organization to the next level for many years to come as our new identity as a youth development organization instead of just a scholarship organization.

Testimonials
Elena was wonderful and very knowledgeable on ways to adapt our information to activities that will make our retreat truly impactful!
Working with Duane at SF Achievers really stretched my facilitation skills and I'm all the more excited for the outcome! This was the first time developing a facilitated session where I was not the intended facilitator. Thus, I had to approach this work with deeper empathy and listening to best understand how to serve a facilitated agenda for a team I've never met for their staff retreat. Super thankful for Duane's clear vision, his push-back on ideas that he felt may not necessarily serve his team best, and generative conversations that helped make this process truly collaborative.
