The Glen Price Group marries state-of-the-art facilitation techniques with high quality information technology support to enable groups to build solid strategic plans backed by strong documentation and tracking systems.
GPG facilitators utilize a variety of participatory techniques designed to strengthen partnership and collaborative bonds. We often employ the process of Appreciative Inquiry (AI), a collaborative, strengths-based approach for bringing about positive change in businesses and corporations, communities, educational, governmental, and nonprofit organizations. AI helps participants heighten their energy, sharpen their vision, and inspire their action for change.
Many of Glen Price’s and GPG’s outstanding strategic planning and campaign successes have involved multiple agency and/or public/private partnerships. Key successes have included:
