Whether you're running a board, an executive team or a department, involving your team in your strategy formation is the secret to long-term success.
When plans are created with the people involved in their delivery, they get done. Your team will be vastly more committed to delivering on a strategic plan they were involved in creating.

FOOD INDUSTRY CASE STUDY
A large food industry distributor approached Turning Leaf with a brief to unify and develop their sales and marketing approach by revamping their annual Sales and Marketing Conference.
Turning Leaf worked with the executive team to create a plan of attack designed to make the whole conference about generating shared understanding and then action planning.
Pre-work included a staff survey to understand motivations and issues in the business, and a full agenda was prepared to allow the team the time to explore their business and opportunities.
At the conclusion of the conference, a complete action plan was developed, with strong buy-in from the whole team.
CASE STUDY CLIENT OUTCOMES
-
A sense of purpose evolved within the team. and for the first time in 20 years, the CEO was able to participate in the conversation rather than run the event.
-
Marketing and sales teams, who were previously at each other's throats, discovered common ground. They were then able to collaboratively overcome a pricing problem in the market by applying creative thinking.
-
Functional silos disintegrated as the team was challenged to work together to solve the problems facing all of them. The new information on sales resulted in excellent discussion amongst state sales teams and the identification of opportunities in different states.
-
Other state teams rapidly adopted ideas from high performing states.
FACILITATION FEES
The cost of professional facilitation varies considerably depending on the specific needs of your team, the numbers involved and the outcomes required.
Fees can range from as little as $6,500 for smaller groups with fewer challenges up to $50,000 for much larger groups with business-critical requirements.
Other drivers of cost include:
On-site or off-site facilitation
Pre-work and research requirements
Post-workshop follow up
Administration needs (eg safety or compliance)
Special requests
The best next step is for us to have a chat about the kind of outcomes you need and how we can ensure you achieve them.
FACILITATION TESTIMONIALS
"Matt provided thoughtful strategic guidance allowing us to define challenges and inform decisions. Matt is practical and understood the nuances of our business environment, ensuring we direct resources where needed and where they have the most impact."
Des Mulcahy, CEO, Royal Sydney Golf Club
"I had no hesitation in asking Turning Leaf in to facilitate our Strategy Formation Day when establishing the new Cumulus Vineyards business unit. The whole process went as smoothly as I expected and delivered a terrific output. The breadth of knowledge and experience working across a multitude of industries with both large and small enterprises, provided the perspective so essential to successful facilitation."
Tim Jones, Managing Director, Cumulus Vineyards
"Turning Leaf are not only experts in their field but they care about the tailored outcomes they deliver to clients.
This was the first strategy session in our firms' history in which we have used an outside consultant and as a result, there was some nervousness surrounding the project. We needn't have worried.
Anyone reading this review can take it for granted that Turning Leaf absolutely has the background knowledge and know-how when it comes to strategy facilitation as well as detailed knowledge regarding the various strategy models out there.
What I would like to articulate in this review, is the care, attention, and detail that Turning Leaf gave up front in order to really tease out what our organisation required and wanted to get out of this project. Once established, they designed a tailor-made program to facilitate our desired outcomes. It was clear that there was a significant amount of work put in at the front end in order to deliver the fantastic results at the back end.
Highly recommended."
Amar Jassal, General Manager, Marshall Investments
"Thank you so much for the fabulous offsite yesterday – it really achieved all I was hoping for, and more. We nailed the reconnect. And now that 24 hours has passed and I’ve had time to reflect, I feel we’ve finished with a really rich set of ideas that we can develop, as a team."
Danusia Cameron, NSW Registrar General, NSW Government Office of the Registrar General
"It was a real pleasure working with Matt. Matt is a highly capable strategic thinker and works very efficiently to understand your brief and works hand in hand to deliver the right outcome. Matts's greatest quality is his respectful nature and his no-fuss attitude."
Kingsley Andrew, General Manager, Stockland
