Lighthouse Strategic Consultation

Lighthouse is pleased to be working with the Center for Tropical Ecology and Conservation (CTEC) at Antioch University in Keene, New Hampshire to facilitate a strategic planning event as part of an upcoming workshop aimed at developing their next five year plan.  To make the most and best use of the time and talent available to CTEC at this workshop, we will be using a Speed Storming exercise designed specifically to meet CTEC’s detailed objectives. Speed Storming is a technique that collects information from individuals and groups rapidly and then transforms this information into knowledge through a reporting out process. By the end of the segment, CTEC will have heard from the participants individually as well as getting “best answers” from groups on pre-designed strategic planning questions.

We are working to describe the future of agriculture in Rhode Island and how, as a farming community, they are going to get there.  During a day-long workshop at URI’s Alton Jones Campus, we will lead a discussion to explore and understand the interlocking agricultural initiatives (different pieces of the puzzle) underway in RI; define what is missing and produce action steps for what needs doing next.

Lighthouse is running a workshop for the directors of the Virginia Marine Trade Association (VMTA) to help them define what they want their future to look like and how they will get there.  By the end of the day long process, the VMTA will have completed a five year strategic plan and an initial draft  of an annual work plan.   We believe, and our client’s success stems from having a clear and executable work plan that describes what is going to get done, who is going to do it and how much it is going to cost.  Clear. Transparent. Measurable.
