Why is strategic planning important?

Strategic planning is essential for cooperatives to navigate challenges, discover untapped potential and seize opportunities. It aligns decisions to overarching goals, promotes growth and fosters innovation through collaboration.

Why a facilitator?

A facilitator brings objectivity, ensures all voices are heard and maintains focus on strategic goals. They manage group dynamics, use proven methods and guide productive, engaging sessions for effective outcomes.
