Don't Enter 2027 With Yesterday's Priorities.

The end of the year has a way of arriving quickly.

Before long, leadership teams will be setting goals, approving budgets, defining priorities, and deciding where the organization will focus its time and resources in 2027.

But there's a difference between setting annual goals and building a strategy that gives the entire organization a clear direction.

If your leadership team hasn't begun that work—or if your current strategic plan needs to be refreshed—NOW is the time!

Join **Michael Wilkinson, Founder of Leadership Strategies and Certified Master Facilitator™, **for a focused year-end planning session designed to help leaders assess where they are today, clarify where they need to go, and identify what needs to happen next to enter 2027 with greater alignment and direction.

Using Leadership Strategies' proven Drivers Model, Michael will walk through the essential components of an effective strategic planning process and the questions leadership teams should be answering before the new year begins.

What You'll Learn

In this session, you'll discover:

✓ The critical questions your leadership team should answer before entering 2027

✓ How to distinguish between mission, vision, goals, objectives, and strategies so each plays the right role in your plan

✓ How to assess your organization's current situation before determining future priorities

✓ How to identify the strategic barriers standing between today's reality and tomorrow's vision

✓ Why stakeholder involvement and leadership alignment are essential to creating a plan people will actually support

✓ How to translate strategic priorities into clear initiatives, ownership, accountability, and action

✓ How the Drivers Model provides a structured path from strategic thinking to implementation

Your 2027 Planning Checkpoint

As you prepare for the year ahead, consider:

Do we have a shared vision of where we're going?

Are our priorities truly strategic—or simply a collection of projects and goals?

Does our leadership team agree on the barriers we must overcome?

Have the right stakeholders been involved in developing the plan?

Do our strategic initiatives have clear ownership and accountability?

Do we have a process for monitoring progress and adjusting when conditions change?

If those questions are difficult to answer, your organization may need more than another annual planning meeting.

Who Should Attend

This webinar is ideal for:

• CEOs, presidents, and executive leadership teams
• Business unit and department leaders
• Strategy and transformation leaders
• HR and Organizational Development executives
• Chiefs of Staff and leaders coordinating strategic planning
• Board and association leaders
• Organizations preparing to develop, refresh, or implement a strategic plan for 2027

Need Help Building Your 2027 Strategy?

A successful strategic planning process requires more than a good agenda.

It requires the right questions, the right people, a disciplined process, and a neutral facilitator who can help leaders surface different perspectives, reach meaningful conclusions, and build genuine commitment to the decisions made.

Leadership Strategies' strategic planning facilitators work with leadership teams to design and facilitate customized planning processes—from preparation and stakeholder input through the planning session, implementation, and follow-through.

If your organization is preparing for an important planning cycle, you don't have to design the process alone.
