Five LONG months ago we created our beautiful (currently meaningless) 2020 strategic plan. It’s now on the shelf, with it’s KPIs and assigned-out action items. Today we’re working on a 90-day plan focused on a few key areas that set us up for success.
We are having conversations with trusted outside voices to gain clarity on our next, critical steps. While we’ve said, “we’re in this together,” we really want to prove that, so we are excited to invite our 5by5 family of clients and friends into these exclusive, insider dialogues.
- senior leader-level discussions with others who are in your shoes
- information on areas that require your immediate focus
- idea share - what really is working right now
- key guests and experts who will answer your questions
- takeaways of our own tools, worksheets, rubrics and even a ready-to-deploy customer survey
We're excited to have you join us for these critical conversations!
