Strategy Forum
Strategy forum: a fast track to the future
A strategy forum is a highly interactive planning and strategy session that engages leaders from the business, public and civic sectors of a community or region in discussions about ideas and practices that define success in today’s economy. These strategy forums can be delivered in the following packages or can be tailored to the specific needs of your community.
In a one day forum you will:
- Review trends and strategic concepts related to the increasingly connected global economy
- Assess your community’s readiness to implement entrepreneurial, technology and trade-based initiatives
- Use the High Performance Community Process to identify your best prospects for economic development opportunities that build on your existing momentum and competitive advantages
- Identify key partners in business and government from outside the community that will help you achieve your goals.
- Retool your development efforts to implement high performance action strategies
- Prioritize key strategies for immediate action
- Mobilize a local or regional high performance community team
A two day strategy forum will:
- Build on the concepts and ideas identified by a one-day forum
- Incorporate on-site interviews of your community’s key leaders, individuals and businesses.
- Review a data-based assessment of your economic strengths and weaknesses
- Produce a more detailed road map for moving forward
Includes a keynote address by Joel Kotkin, an internationally recognized authority on global, political, and social trends. Joel brings a national and international view on economic trends and how your community will fit in with these trends.
