New Tactics offers a variety of workshops covering the Strategic Effectiveness Method. The value of these workshops is in gathering the members of your organization together to discuss and agree on the outcome of each step. Many minds and thoughts add value to the process, resulting in a campaign that is better and stronger.
Our workshops are customized to your organization and its specific issue, helping to move your work forward in an effective and strategic manner. We also offer the opportunity to train individuals to become Strategic Effectiveness facilitators for their organization or network, which includes extended on-the-job mentoring. For further information including costs for group trainings or to schedule a workshop, please contact us.
