Jackson & Schmidt's Off-Site Meetings are laser-focused planning sessions to build a successful change road map, build commitment among leaders, and decide how to help the entire organization get on board.

The Business Case	The Solution	Expected Results
During change, everyone wants the answer to five questions. Leaders need a focused, face-to-face (preferably off-site) structured meeting to develop the answers and build consensus. Change will have a tough time getting traction without this step. The five questions: • What’s the real plan and priority? • What’s in it for me? • Who’s really the decision maker? • Why are we doing this? • Is this another “flavor of the month”?	Our Off-Site Meetings bring leaders and stakeholders together to plan the new future in a concrete, action-oriented format. We are experts at managing complex meetings and challenging group dynamics through: • Interviews to build a common representation of “current reality” • Co-design a structured process with the client and facilitate the meeting • Ensure all points of view are adequately heard and understood • Use Balanced Scorecard techniques to create a tangible and specific change road map, including how culture will need to change • Create a plan to address resistance or apathy to change • Create a communication plan to achieve widespread buy-in and engagement Read the case studies for this program.       Case 1    Case 2	A specific plan to eliminate the top three barriers to successful change: 1) Unclear direction or vision 2) People don’t OWN the problem and solution 3) Communication doesn’t inspire aligned action
