What People Are Saying
“The Stampede’s Board engaged in the Future Is Coming workshop shortly after its development, and we were thrilled with the results. The exercise allowed the Board to examine each element of our core business and test their appetite for risk in the face of volatile economic and political environments. The workshop was directly applicable to the development of our three-year strategic plan, which in turn allowed the organization to translate the strategy into a robust business plan.
“The success of that plan has inspired the organization to continue along the same strategic approach for our next plan, which will be a 5-year plan to align with the fulfillment of our 20-year Master Plan. I would highly recommend the workshop for organizations that are engaging in strategic planning or are facing disruptions within their industry.”
