More than a traffic cop, a true facilitator researches your team, your industry and your current and future needs and designs a program based on your intended outcomes that addresses the tough issues, creates clear direction and strategy and inspires action with accountability.

Dean Savoca’s proven method of facilitating strategic retreats is based on his executive coaching methods, his extensive education, and his innate ability to recognize the pink elephants in the room, address them head on, resolve the issue and move forward with intention.

Our facilitation model is a four-phased approach which includes:

• Data collection – may include informational interviews, cultural surveys, assessments and review of organizational materials.
• Session design – a customized program, based on proven methodologies, is designed to ensure that outcomes are achieved. Consideration is given to communication and behavior styles of attendees, group dynamics, and any corporate/team sensitivities.
• Alignment session - a productive time with an atmosphere that is engaging, respectful and focused on collaboration and building trust. A clear vision is set, core strategies are identified, barriers are discussed and resolved, and team members are inspired to commit to actions with accountability. Dean often includes modules based on his keynote messages.
• Implementation and Follow-Up – a step often overlooked, we hold debrief strategy session(s) with key stakeholders to ensure momentum continues after the retreat and objectives are achieved.
