The Strategic Stop Doing Workshop
Overwhelmed by too many priorities? Use this session to prune your portfolio and focus on high-leverage activities.
About this session
Executive teams often struggle with initiative creep, where new goals are added to an already full plate without anything being removed. This workshop provides a structured way to audit your current portfolio and explicitly kill projects that are draining resources without delivering proportional strategic value.
Why it works
The process shifts the conversation from the merits of individual projects to the reality of collective bandwidth. By forcing participants to rank and cut activities in a group setting, it creates the social accountability needed to stop work that people are emotionally attached to but that no longer fits the mission.
What you’ll walk away with
- Clear actionable outcomes from a 4-step facilitated process
- Increased participant engagement and buy-in
- Documented decisions and next steps
- Improved team alignment on the topic
Who it’s for
Executives, Senior Leaders
