Why does business need Strategy sessions?
Defining and updating strategy
Strategy sessions help define and update the company's strategy, taking into account changes in the internal and external environment.

Strategy sessions allow companies to determine their top priorities and identify the most important problems that need to be solved.
Business Development
Strategy sessions help companies develop new ideas, products, services and business models to grow their business.

Problem solving and crisis management
With the help of the tool, companies can solve specific problems they face, such as falling profitability or increasing competition.

Involving a facilitator can add more value to the process
01Reason
An external consultant/facilitator/moderator will help ensure that all voices are heard and that all stakeholders are actively involved. It is critical that the facilitator has the tools he can use to design a successful session.
02Reason
Strategic planning is a specialized skill that requires knowledge and experience in areas such as mission and vision, trend watching, OKR, north star metrics. A facilitator can share their knowledge, educate your team, and provide insight that may not be available internally.
03Reason
An external consultant can speak objectively into the strategic planning process and facilitate more open and honest discussions because he is an outsider and is not influenced by political currents within the company.
04Reason
The moderator will provide structure and guidance to the strategic planning process, ensuring it is focused, efficient and effective. It can also help keep the session on track and deal with any conflicts or disagreements that may arise.

Is it possible for a company to do without strategic sessions?
Almost impossible. A strategy session allows you to find business problems that hinder its growth and make employees’ work ineffective. It is at such meetings that the team’s work is established and a common development strategy is developed. Each employee here can express their vision of the company’s development and be heard.
How many people can attend a strategy session?
For strategic sessions, we recommend creating a working group of no more than 9 people.
Which format is better - online or offline?
We recommend conducting strategy sessions offline. However, both options can be applied.
How to get the most out of a strategy session?
There are three key factors for the success of an event. The first is the composition of the participants: there should be no random people at the session who do not make any important decisions. The second is what is done after: if we develop a strategy, but nothing is done to implement it, all the work done will have no meaning. Third, the involvement of the meeting participants and their initiative. Don't be afraid to ask questions and express your vision of the company's strategy.
What tools are used to conduct strategy sessions?
We recommend using three main tools: work files, a checklist for each participant, and a planning system through a task manager that reflects the work of each employee.
What types and formats of sessions are there?
There are two session formats: online and offline. We also distinguish 5 types of such meetings: strategic (developing a development strategy and identifying obstacles in its implementation), niche (work on a specific direction/market), product (work on a specific product for an established niche), crisis (causes of crisis/stagnation and methods overcoming it) and facilitation (facilitating communication between employees).
How is a strategy session different from team building or training?
The difference between a strategy session and team building is that it is focused not on the process (for example, creating a certain atmosphere in the team), but on the end result (forming a strategy to achieve a profit of X dollars in Y months). Another difference is that the meeting primarily affects top management, not ordinary employees. Unlike training, which develops the necessary competencies in employees, a session should be held to develop the company's strategy and ways to achieve it.
How often should sessions be held?
Depends on how things are going in the company. We recommend turning to such a service every time a company has problems developing or implementing a strategy.
