During the week of April 4th, 2022, global CEO organization Vistage (Vistage) invited Larry O'Toole to be the guest speaker for multiple events in Burlington, Vermont to help business owners and CEOs build their company valuation. The topic is, "Strategic Planning That Enables Company Worth". Larry provided his practical insights for helping an organization build overall company value, or what he calls company worth, through a new approach for stratgic thinking and planning. As one member commented, "Larry helped us see the value in separating our strategic thinking from the actual planning itself. I realize now that my company current strategic planning can be improved greatly with the insights and various templates we were provided at this event."
Said O'Toole, "Too often executives try to race toward capturing their thinking in a strategic plan without first stepping back and asking new questions to provoke new thinking. We are often uncomfortable acknoweldging we don't know certain things about our business so we focus on what we know and we capture this in our plan. But to start by asking new questions and realizing there are things about our business we don't have good clarity on, this is a much more effective starting point for enabling strategic planning."
The workshop includes an effective 4 part campaign for guiding a team through new thinking and capturing that thinking in an actionable plan. In addition, the members leave the session with a variety of thought provoking templates executives can use with their teams to faciliate new productive dialog.
