An Interactive Exchange with David Sibbet
Visionary Leadership &The Grove's Strategic Visioning System: Origins & Theory
Join David Sibbet for an exploration of the origins of the Grove's approach to support visionary leaders with its Strategic Visioning methods.

This session will address:
- Why integrating traditional strategy methods with visioning became so important in the 1990s.

- How Ed Classen got The Grove to develop graphic templates that any good consultant could use, without having to draw.
- Why interactive engagement is so critical to strategy ownership.
- How graphic templates can be used lie Lego blocks to design stragegic process.
- How the Four Flows of process inform the approach.
- Why the model has a figure eight architecture.
- How digital work has transformed The Grove's strategy approaches.
