Courses / ToP® Secrets of Implementation

ToP® Secrets of Implementation · No prerequisite

You have a plan. Now keep it moving.

Plans rarely fail at the retreat. They fail in the months after, when priorities shift, people leave and the plan stops coming up in meetings. This course gives you dozens of practical tools for that long middle.

What changes on Monday

You see the stall coming

A dip feels like a stage, not a failure.

Check-ins drive action

Quarterly reviews adjust the plan instead of reporting on it.

New people get on board fast

Without restarting the plan or losing what the group agreed.

You finish strong

Close out and celebrate, so the next plan starts with energy.

Is this for you?

→ Your organization has a strategic plan and you’re responsible for making it happen.

→ A plan, project or coalition effort has lost momentum.

→ You manage projects or change efforts that run for months or years.

→ You lead a community campaign or collective impact effort with many partners.

What the two days look like

Built around your real plan

You bring a plan or project you’re responsible for, and the group works on it together using peer coaching.

Dozens of tools, tested

You try them against your actual situation, so you leave with the ones that fit.

What people say

“A substantive addition to Strategic Planning which provides many ideas and methods to move the group forward into implementation. I loved it.”

Jane Stallman · Senior Partner, Center for Strategic Facilitation

“I now have a clearer idea of the strategies a facilitator can use beyond the initial planning to help move a group towards the achievement of their goals.”

Where this leads

TSI completes the cycle: TFM for the meeting, TSP for the plan, TSI for carrying it out.

Came here first?

Facilitation Methods (TFM) gives you the core methods under many of these tools.

Building the next plan?

Strategic Planning (TSP) takes you from vision to owners and dates.

Professional development

Getting your organization to invest

Your supervisor will want three things: the cost, what you’ll be able to do, and which credentials it counts toward. The request letter puts all three in one email.

Five or more people?

Bring a course to your team

I can bring TSI to your organization, adapted to your meetings and your space, often for less per person than public seats.

Questions people ask

Do I need to have taken TSP?

No. Any plan works: a strategic plan, a project plan or a community campaign, built with any method.

What should I bring?

One real plan or project you’re responsible for. The course is built around working on it.

What’s included?

The official ToP® manual, one hour of coaching with your trainer within 90 days, and the Great Plains ToP Community of Practice.
