Lead With the Heart

A Conscious Approach to Strategy

Customers, shareholders, employees, and executives are asking for a different way of doing business. The old rules of maximizing profit at any cost have given way to a holistic desire to balance short-term profit, sustainable long-term growth, and many other factors, from positive environmental impact to the personal fulfillment of team members to overall social good. 

How do you pursue a multifaceted strategy without tying your organization in knots?

A conscious approach to business needs a conscious business strategy. 

Conscious business strategy builds on traditional strategic fundamentals like focus and differentiation and integrates them with the awareness, alignment, and intention that are the cornerstones of conscious leadership.

Conscious business strategy is based on a collective awareness of the organization's needs and values, alignment with what matters most to the core stakeholders, and the intentional pursuit of a shared vision of success. 

Aware of Identity

Do we know who we are, who we serve, how we create value, and what matters most?

Aligned on Differentiators

Do we understand what makes us different? Do we have the courage to pursue it?

Intentional in Focus

Can we collectively agree on what to do and, equally importantly, what not to do?

Why Choose Plenty

Our clients routinely tell us that before hiring Plenty, they chose a large, well-known consulting firm. 

Again and again, we hear, "After a year of work and tens of thousands of dollars, all we got was a nice PowerPoint. We need to try something that actually gets results."

It's amazing how many strategic planning engagements end with an expensive slide deck that doesn't reflect the cares of the stakeholders, the needs of the market, or the opinions of the team.

We won't PowerPoint over your problems. Our conscious, experiential approach will surface the real issues, find solutions your team cares about, and build the buy-in along the way that you need to be successful. 

Our Consulting Packages

Our engagements range from affordable one-day workshops to enterprise-wide, multi-year transformations. Every engagement is customized to fit your needs.

Here's where we start. 

Your Consultants

Plenty co-leaders Jennifer Mulholland and Jeff Shuck are dynamic facilitators, strategists, leaders, and published authors. Together, they bring unparalleled expertise in facilitating positive change and unlocking growth for a better world.

Jennifer and Jeff will facilitate your strategic planning and guide you and your organization to envision and reach its best future. 

Our Typical Process

Our immersive, proven process ensures you build a great plan – and create the buy-in you need to implement it.

We tailor every engagement to your specific needs. Here's how we approach a typical strategic planning process. 

Define Success

I. Kick-off & Learn

  • We'll help you choose a project team.
  • We'll introduce the project and align on your goals.
  • We'll spend a few days to a few weeks exploring your organization, depending upon the scope of our work together.

III. Engage & Align

  • There's no substitute for in-person human connection. Every engagement we conduct features an in-person experience at HeartSpace, Plenty's retreat center in Park City, Utah, or onsite with you.
  • We'll share our discovery findings and distill the discovery from your team and
    agencies.
  • We'll use nature and outdoor exploration to help you find the most important insights to apply to your challenge, and inspire you to dream about your company's highest possibility.
  • As we go, we'll explore possible alternative solutions, and, most importantly, align on what's next.

IV. Document & Refine

  • After the in-person session, we'll document the discussions, decisions, and roadmap in a playbook - a beautiful, informative plan that includes all of the components of your decisions.
  • Then, we will refine it together, ensuring buy-in and adoption from key decision-makers like board members, executives, partners, and agencies.
  • We also test any financial models we've built and workshop any key operational changes.

V. Implement & Achieve

Finally, we'll help you codify the decisions and direction into your existing plans and budgets or, if applicable, replace your previous strategies with what's been created.

In addition to the experiential deliverables, you can count on at least four written deliverables:

  1. Discovery Findings. We'll present a set of discovery findings to you.
  2. Retreat Materials. This is a workbook for you and each project team member to use during our in-person session.
  3. Draft Playbook. A draft playbook outlining the approach we've agreed on for you to review and use. This may include financial modeling, depending on the core problem to be addressed.
  4. Final Playbook. A final playbook, integrated into your existing strategic and financial documentation, based on your feedback on the draft.
