Intensives
An intensive is a day and a half, immersive experience to establish and align your project or portfolio for the next two-three years. Intensives are specifically designed to create an environment where clarity is created and teams can align on vision. An intensive will fast-track your team towards building a detailed strategy. You and your leadership team will be guided through a thoughtful framework and series of exercises that will help you reveal your unique organizational identity, clarify your vision and values, design a platform to support the vision, determine how you will measure success, and build a new operational model thesis that drives those metrics. The day and a half experience includes:
A one hour discovery and intensive prep video call.
A pre-intensive team assessment and asset study. The asset study will be based on the level of detail that the client is comfortable with providing prior to the intensive. There is no requirement for the engagement other than the assessment, but our team sets time aside to review assets and collateral should it be provided by the client.
A custom designed agenda for the intensive. We have a framework that drives clarity, but your leadership team will get to decide if there are any areas of focus that need more attention than others. The final agenda will be approved by your team prior to the intensive.
Up to 10-hours of strategic development with the Marsh Collective team in Opelika or on-site at a location of your choice (additional charges apply).
Two catered lunches, one dinner experience, and coffee-refreshments throughout for up to 4 participants (Opelika intensives only).
A written summary report and strategy outline from the intensive and post work.
A one hour follow-up video call post-intensive to catalyze the findings.
Here are some of the ways past clients have used intensives:
Establishing a Patron-developer identity and vision in a place where you and your team feel implicated to create flourishing.
To bring a potential project from provisional, where intentions are clear but lacks sufficient details to fully align the team, to plan, where the complexity of the intentions is honored, and difficult questions are directionally answered.
To make the transition from a project driven focus to a more portfolio driven focus in your investment strategy.
Creating a new division or launching a new business model, product or service.
Determining if a large acquisition or opportunity aligns with overall portfolio outcomes.
