Challenges / Opportunities

The aftermath of the COVID pandemic found the Piper Center with a brand-new leadership team and re-starting popular programs.   Interviews revealed a lack of: 

  • Direction and process
  • Role clarity,
  • Implementing goals and ideas,
  • Team identity
  • Understanding of their “secret sauce”. 

Recommendations & Implementations

Two MFI facilitators, Dean and Joanne Newlund, designed and facilitated a two-day live facilitation at the ASU Sky Song Campus.  During the two days, participants developed plans and improved their interpersonal skills, knowing that a strategic plan is only as good as the team implementing it. 

Results

  • Aspirational Vision
  • Clarity of the “customers” they serve.
  • Development of customer promises
  • A Compelling Mission Statement
  • Artifacts of team activities and discussions

Follow Up

4 live full-day sessions to create the following:

  • Team norms
  • Strategies
  • Goals
  • Succession planning framework
  • Decision-making process.
