The fact that it was not abstract strategy consulting was a real attraction. We could see what we would be doing each of the three days. The return on our investment has been really good. Just the act of working on strategic initiatives in a workshop puts us ahead of the competition.

I was attracted to the practical approach to strategic planning. We were good short term planners but had no clear longer term strategy. I wanted us to come out of the meetings with actionable plans. Consequently, Giraffe has become an important business partner in assisting us with long term strategic planning.

There are four big benefits with Giraffe and Strategy in a Box: First, you've got a process that's well defined and rigorous. Second, because of templates and the strict timings, it's easy to keep the group corralled and focused. Third, because of the rigorous agenda and timings, you stay on task and get it done. And the fourth big benefit is John Delany.The process forced us to think at a level of detail that we'd never done before with our strategic planning. Finally, we've got something with some staying power to it.
