Our lives and our communities are evolving. Government is the advocate for a better quality of life and creating a strong, amazing community has never been more consequential than right now. You chose your profession not because it's easy, but because it is hard. You want to make a difference and not just a living. Times being what they are presents you an extraordinary challenge and you must ask yourself - are you willing to accept it? I already know your answer is yes because you have courage, compassion and conviction and that community building and changing lives is what you do. We've always done it that way has been discarded and its place is an opportunity for you to experiment with creative and clever ways to build a better future.

FUTURES PLANNING AND YOUR COMMUNITY

SERVICE DELIVERY OPTIMIZATION - SUCCEED BY CHOICE
|
| | |
I am a huge fan of the Lewis and Clark Corps of Discovery and their ability to continually create a new map as they reperceived their future, relying on a learn-it-all approach, teamwork, and cooperation to achieve their vision. The next chapter for your community is how it reimagines itself. Forwarding-looking leaders recognize linear strategic planning is a relic of the past, so I've refreshed my approach from strategic planning to instead focus on futures planning. That's right, futures with an "s". Less about identifying projects and more about discussing purpose, I create a thought-provoking, enjoyable environment, emphasizing practicality and imagination, where leaders exchange ideas and increase their capability to effectively toggle between being responsive and proactive in their pursuit to build a strong community.

People skills have never been more important than right now. The practice of online learning has been around for some time, but recent events have caused it to increase so this Fall, we'll be launching "The Mejorando Learning Network (MLN), an online/virtual learning platform, that will eventually include our entire catalogue of Training workshops.
Similar to a traditional classroom training experience, your employees and I will be able to interact live using features such as audio, video, interactive whiteboard, written activities, and small-group breakouts. I will continue my in-person delivery and envision MLN as a venue to provide your organization flexibility needed in today's world! Keep an eye out in your email inbox and on our social media channels for an announcement on the Go Live Date. In the meantime, click here to "Discover the Major Advantages of Online Learning."

Striking the right balance between sustaining a legacy organization and building for the future requires judgment. Whenever you face high uncertainty, you need to be creative as you navigate uncharted waters. Way more than polishing up your vision, modifying your mission statement, refreshing your values, revising goals, and setting new objectives, the value of the Futures Planning approach is that it's less of a focus on identifying projects or getting to the "right" scenario, and more about discussing purpose and helping leadership understand that the future can be dramatically different from the present, while fostering a deeper understanding of the forces driving potential changes and uncertainties. The approach gives leaders the ability to reperceive reality. The dividend is to sharpen their capability to toggle between present reality and future possibility.
