Strategy & Planning
Strategy only works if people can live it. Every organization hits moments where the path forward needs recalibration. EJ Intelligence helps leadership teams turn complexity into clarity through strategic planning that’s grounded in both data and dialogue.
Strategic Facilitation for Executive Teams
Bring focus to your next big decision.
We design and facilitate strategy sessions, board retreats, and planning offsites that help teams move from ideas to decisions. Using frameworks refined through years at Deloitte’s Greenhouse and in Fortune 500 strategy rooms, we guide teams through structured discussions that build alignment, uncover blind spots, and translate priorities into action.
Common sessions include:
Annual or multi-year strategic planning retreats
Operating model alignment and decision-rights mapping
Scenario planning for growth, disruption, or transformation
Board or executive offsites to refresh vision and goals
Cross-functional collaboration sessions to break silos and align initiatives
Deliverables often include visual summaries, strategic roadmaps, and facilitator notes that capture commitments and next steps.
