The approach 3 steps

From question to a next step people stand behind

We guide every step. What we mainly ask of you is substance: two meetings beforehand and a co-moderator during the session.

  1. Step 1

    Formulate the strategic question

    Example“Which developments do you see in your work that we need to take into account over the next five years?”

  2. Step 2

    Gather experiences and ideas widely

    ExampleTechnicians, planners and customer service respond to each other's ideas in one session.

  3. Step 3

    Use the insights in shaping the course

    ExampleThe strategy team takes the ideas with the most support to the board's course session.
