In 2022, Bungalow 968 led two visioning and planning sessions with the Retail and Forestry departments of the Líĺwat Business Group.
These sessions are led to give businesses the opportunity to share not only what is important to them, but how to ensure those items align with organizational values. We work to gain a better understanding of how these values form the foundation of each business, which impacts the priories, initiatives and overall direction. Once this vision is distilled down, it allows us to put together strategies to build and move the business and team forward as a cohesive unit.
The facilitator guides this work to help support the participants throughout the process by asking questions to deepen the conversations and draw out relevant and important data which can be applied in a meaningful and purpose driven way.
It takes courage within these sessions to share what’s important to individuals and the group as a whole, but with the provision of a safe, collaborative space held by the facilitator, participants are able to ease into sharing with one another. During the each session with Líĺwat Retail and Forestry, strong values of community and pride in doing work that directly supports their community rose as a main highlight and thread that connects all the employees of the Líĺwat Business Group together.
The collective idea sharing that fills these sessions with colorful post its and bubble blocks on a whiteboard are captured and then delivered to the client through a reports of findings and recommendations for the teams to reference and anchor back with their values to ensure they continue to action their identified priorities. The reporting helps to continue to guide the participants well after the session completes, in their everyday work while continuing to reconnect them with their pride and purpose.
