Our Methodology
1
ASSESSMENT
In the assessment phase, you will receive a complimentary coaching call, where we will discuss specific needs and desired objectives. Then, all retreat participants are invited to complete a short anonymous leadership team survey to establish psychological safety, identify relevant issues and open up ideas for strategy.
2
STRATEGIC AGENDA DESIGN
Based on specific needs that surface through the assessment phase, we partner with you to customize the retreat agenda. Our unique strategic process outlines the most critical issues that need to be addressed first in order to create a great strategy.
3
FACILITATION
On the day of your retreat, our expert facilitators lead the team through the agenda, and enroll everyone in accomplishing the retreat goals. Depending on the needs of the team, retreats can range from 1-4 days of deepening connections, strengthening the bond with your team, and creating plans for action and accountability.
4
FOLLOW UP
After your retreat, you receive a detailed strategy including the vision, objectives, commitments, and tasks with deadlines and references to the accountable people. We will then discuss future steps to enhance accountability and future planning.

Don’t take our word for it – here’s what our clients say:
I really wanted to sincerely thank you for what I consider to be a great event last week. I’ve done a lot of team retreats over the years with different consultants, and I can say this was the best one I’ve ever participated in.
You did a really good job of managing the group and managing the event. I got a lot out of it in terms of interpersonal stuff. I got a lot out of it in terms of work objectives to take home and get going on. I know it took a lot of energy and a lot of work on your part.
Ray Pittman, President
Landmark Properties Group, Inc.
This is the best team retreat we have had in quite some time. I appreciate that you listened and developed the format in such a way that we incorporated learning, teamwork building and results. You were very effective in selecting best practice stories as well as our joint exercise. You re-directed our focus as needed and did a great job at pulling response from Kurt as needed.
It was a substantive commitment of time and energy for all of us, but was well worth it and will have lasting positive impact in the future.

After just a few days, Mitch was able to get us united, focused and energized. We could not have been more happy with the outcome.

Why should our team use a facilitator for retreats?
Facilitators specialize in leading retreats, give the team enhanced levels of psychological safety, and create an equal playing field among the leadership team.
When you should not use a facilitator:
- You feel 100% confident leading the strategic planning process
- You don't mind facilitating, and you feel you can participate at the same time
- Your team will speak candidly regardless of who facilitates
- Your organization is already fully and explicitly aligned with your vision, mission, values and goals.
- You don't want an external perspective on your organization
- Your goals are to stay exactly where you're at. Status Quo is the way to go.
- You're not interested in creating a strategic plan with your group, and you'd prefer doing it alone.
- Your organization is too small, and we don't need a full two-day process.
What's the difference between the Simon Leadership Alliance and other strategic planning facilitators?
Our clients consistently emphasize the unique strengths of Simon Leadership Alliance, highlighting the effectiveness of our team alignment process and our adept facilitation methodology that fosters open and transparent conversations.
Some typical testimonials include:
"This process has propelled us further than ever before."
"Having been part of numerous strategic planning sessions, this is, without a doubt, the most engaging and effective one."
"Your guidance has played a key role in attaining the level of alignment we currently enjoy."
While other facilitators may provide lower costs, it's crucial to recognize that they often lack our specialization in strategic planning and the structured approach that defines our methodology. At Simon Leadership Alliance, we bring distinct value to the forefront, ensuring unparalleled results in team alignment and strategic planning.
How much time does it take?
For most organizations, we can have a complete strategic planning process completed within 3 months.
A sample timeline
- Prework- 4 weeks
- Strategic planning in person takes 2-5 days + post work as needed.
- Plan competition and roll out: 3 weeks.
This does not include the time needed to begin the implementation.
Who should we include?
Typically strategic planning for Simon Leadership Alliance engages the leadership team and/or the board of directors. You may want to include specific staff, SME’s or additional stakeholders included within parts of the process. We help you decide who would be included in the agenda planning part of the process.
Do you provide a discount for non-profits?
We provide a 10% discount for non-profit organizations.
