Runsheet: Strategic Prioritisation
Free Download

Most strategic planning sessions suffer from the same fatal flaw: too much talking, not enough deciding. We believe strategy must be practical, focused, and grounded in reality.

This isn't a theoretical framework. This is the field-tested runsheet we use to facilitate high-stakes prioritisation sessions for our clients. It is designed to cut through the complexity of real world decision making.

  • Structured Agenda: A time-boxed flow to keep the room focused and moving.

  • Activity Guides: Specific exercises to extract the best thinking from your team without the "groupthink."

All with an outcome focus for a clear path to ensuring you leave the room with true priorities, not just a wishlist.

SPARK: Prioritisation Session
Free Download

When everything is urgent, work stops. This SPARK (Strategies, Principles, Actions, Reflection, Knowledge) is based around our prioritisation runsheet to move teams from debate to decision.

It uses Strategies to rank work and Principles to ensure the loudest voice doesn't dominate. Scripted Actions and Reflections align the room, building the Knowledge needed for Success: a single, committed list.

This guides the mechanics. To master the people dynamics, watch for our upcoming Facilitation Craft course.
