Board Strategic Planning
Clubs with an active and relevant Strategic Plan are the ones that are thriving. They are not making reactive decisions, but have a clear, highly proactive and well communicated plan that reassures the membership that the business is strong and viable. Paying careful attention to the strategic position is the ingredient to consistent success in this new club world!
The JR Sullivan Consulting team draws on over 80 years of private club management experience to help guide boards in their strategic planning process. Contact us to find out more about our Comprehensive Strategic Analysis and Program Development or our Strategic Thinking Quick-Start and Review.
