In-Person Strategic Conversation Sessions
Let SKC lead your organization through a unique ’good question’ session that supports your strategic planning or communications strategy efforts.
These interactive (and dare we say enjoyable) workshops help nonprofits and community groups be more strategic by asking strategic questions. Put another way…We think it’s better to have rough answers to the right questions than detailed answers to the wrong questions.
Whether focusing on Strategic Planning, Communications Strategy, or Program Ideation, asking the right questions can uncover the insight you need to plan effectively.
SKC has developed a sequential process that helps you have the discussions you need to clarify your goals, plans, and aspirations. It helps get you to where you need to be… even if you don’t know what your exact destination is yet.
Together we can help advance your mission, strengthen relationships, and drive meaningful action.
During a Good Question! session, we’ll explore…
What is: context and complexity
What if: new ideas and possibilities
What works: what is realistic, what achieves the best outcomes?
What next: how do we move forward?
All workshops include pre-session background materials. Participants will also receive a free digital copy of the Good Question! Guide #1: Strategic questions your organization should ask when crafting a communications plan.

The lively, interactive workshops can focus on Strategic Planning, Communications Strategy, or Program Ideation — it’s your choice. Discussions will be realistic, rooted in the complexity of our world, and avoid simplistic solutions. We’ll put in the time to understand your context.
Our sessions can be one to two days long. As in-person conversations, we are deliberately old-school, using flipcharts, breakout groups, and unique activities.We minimize the use of slidedecks, and think you’ll appreciate a break from screens.
We take a human-first approach. A.I. can do many things, but it can’t:
Read a room
Navigate organizational politics
Make nuanced judgment calls
Facilitate complex discussions
Partner with Sean Kelly and SKC associates to explore the foundational questions you should ask before putting pen to paper (or pixel to pad) for a strategic plan or communications guide for your organization.
