You’ve probably been in one before. A long, expensive strategy session filled with whiteboards, flip charts and vague ideas that never seem to lead anywhere. Dominant voices take over. Everyone leaves exhausted, and weeks later… nothing’s changed.
Scott’s Compression Planning® sessions are designed to solve this.
Built on a visual, fast-paced process that gets everyone contributing and agreeing on the way forward, these sessions are ideal for leaders who need outcomes, not just conversation.
A Smarter Way to Plan
Originally created by Jerry McNellis, Compression Planning® is a proven method for turning complex ideas and competing priorities into a unified, written strategy — quickly.
Scott was personally trained by Jerry and brings years of hands-on experience guiding leadership teams through this process. His facilitation helps teams navigate disruption, make key decisions, and walk away with practical next steps.
Compression Planning® is unlike any workshop you’ve experienced.
Ideas are captured on large boards. Discussions are timed to keep things on track. Votes are tallied visually to reveal group priorities. By the end of the session, you’ll see your strategy come together right before your eyes.
This isn’t another sticky-note session. It’s a method built for clarity and momentum.
