STRATEGIC PLANNING SESSIONS

Strategic planning is a misunderstood exercise that too often does not result in actions and plans that enable Council’s vision. The result is unintentional relationship challenges between Administration, Council, and the public.

Bloom’s approach to the strategic planning exercise is unique in that it focuses on tying strategic goals and realistic vision to a municipality’s operational readiness and financial capacity.
