Phil Steffen has assisted numerous organizations at their strategic planning and leadership development conferences.

In this capacity he facilitates the discussions, keeping the process on track and on target. His experience in working with a wide scope of organizations (both profit and non-profit on four continents) is a value-added benefit for you. Phil will show what has worked successfully with his clients and how to adapt those processes to your unique needs and objectives. And, just as importantly, he knows what doesn't work and will help you avoid those pitfalls.

Phil will also make presentations on proven management and leadership techniques that will assist your key people in "implementing the plan" and "selling the changes" to employees and/or association members. The objective: Getting every person in the organization "on board" with WHAT has to be done and "buying in" on WHY it must be done.

Examples of techniques and methods Phil will introduce include:

· The "Five Specifics" a plan must have
· A "Working Definition" of the strategic plan
· "Economic Realities" of the planning process
· "The Assessment Review": where you are now; where improvement is needed
· Stages of the "Change Revolution" in building the "Organization of the Future"
· Being a "Complete Manager/Visionary Leader" in implementing and supporting the plan
