More details at http://ssne.org/services-strategic-questions.htm Are you facing important, complex decisions with specific details and "people issues" that matter? Are you challenged by rapid change, competition and "stretched" resources? Are you unsure if you're asking the right questions? Then please join MSBDC and SSNE for an executive workshop designed to help you move forward as you create wealth, opportunity and lasting change. Strategic questions are one of the keys to 21st century leadership and innovation. They help your people, products and services perform better through re-design, breaking up outdated assumptions, generating new ideas, and shifting unproductive behavior. They focus on what could be, enabling you and your staff to move from "You should " to "How can we..?" They help us create a more positive, personally compelling future. Strategic questions enable us to understand and deal with global pressures on our businesses while helping us meet the economic, social and environmental needs of our customers, employees, vendors, and communities. Through this workshop and an implementation teleconference, you'll learn: What makes questions strategic, engaging and motivating, and how to ask the right questions in the right way, at the right time to get the most out of yourself and your organization. How to map strategies for asking and answering strategic questions. How to understand and respond innovatively to the emerging 21st century business environment. SSNE's unique problem solving approach, The Search for Insight?, which you can immediately apply in your organization. With it, your staff can learn to effectively apply strategic questioning in just a few hours, and channel their decades of experience into uncovering exactly what needs to happen, and how. What others say: We rarely invite in the same expert more than once, but we've used SSNE three times, with more planned. With their assistance our group of business leaders has become better learners: seeing their problems as systematic and solvable; trusting that there is a friendly and accessible body of knowledge in our organization; that many of their problems can be solved by thinking in terms of sustainability and that they need to take more time and more risk in reaching out to speak to people with different vantage points in order to achieve a fresh and relevant perspective. -Ira Bryck, Director, UMass Family Business Center Workshop Overview ? The Art and Science of Strategic Questioning ? Leadership and Implementation through Strategic Questioning ? Free Follow-up Teleconference: Getting Help with Implementation. Workshop Leaders: Beth Tener, SSNE's Executive Director, is a leader in innovation who's worked with over 80 companies in manufacturing, energy and the service sector to strengthen their internal management systems to enhance business performance in a rapidly changing world. From Fortune 500's to small family businesses, she's uncovered the common challenges and sensible solutions that help leaders run their business well, while also meeting their stakeholders' rising expectations for better environmental and social performance. Paul Lipke is SSNE's Director of Programs and Training. He's known nationally for his pioneering work in teaching business and government leaders how to use strategic questioning to enhance their personal leadership and improve their organization's economic, environmental, and social performance. Recent clients include the Brattleboro Food Co-op, City of Cambridge, CT Clean Energy Fund, Franklin County Community Development Corporation, Greniers Photography and UMass Family Business Center.

As an intern you will be working with an incredibly experienced, talented and diverse staff, and will have the opportunity to gain knowledge about therapeutic riding and business administration of a non-profit organization.
