STRATEGIC PLANNING GRAPHIC FACILITATION WORKSHOP
Pre-Work Activities
Dear Shangri-La Leaders,
“Building a visionary company requires one percent vision and 99 percent alignment” – Jim Collins and Jerry Porras, Built to Last
Warm greetings from SLIM Dubai.
Soon we will be getting together to conduct a really important task: to design the future strategy of your hotel , and the steps to materialise the strategy into successful outcomes.
During the two days of the workshop, we will be:
• Exploring the current reality of the hotel performance. • Identifying a future vision that represents the direction for all teams to follow. • Designing strategic pillars to materialise the vision into actionable plans. • Allocating strategic teams to drive this future direction in the hotel. • Reflecting on the skills and capabilities demonstrated by Strategic Thinkers.
In preparation for the workshop, you are kindly requested to complete the pre-work activities outlined in this document.
Also, further information regarding logistical requirements for this event are explained for your consideration and planning.
Thank you very much in advance and I look forward to meeting you all in person and to have a successful workshop.
Warmest regards,
Daniel Agudelo Director of Learning & Development, Shangri-La EMEA / North America
