Collaborative Strategic Planning

The Potential Group has evolved a pragmatic approach to strategy development, change leadership and strategy implementation that directly reflects the complex needs of healthcare, research and education. This approach fuses the theory and practice of Appreciative Inquiry, the adaptive practices of developmental evaluation, and generative approaches to engagement, change leadership and capacity building.

We use innovative practices to design and lead sustainable system and organizational transformation and capacity building for our clients in higher education, community development, health systems, research institutes and networks, and hospitals.
