Think-Tank

The Think-Tank was an exciting step in the Strategic Action Plan process for Lake Geneva!

The City of Lake Geneva has embarked on its first ever strategic planning initiative that begins with a visioning phase. One of the initial steps in the process was a two-part Think-Tank Workshop. Participants explored emerging macro trends, key drivers shaping the City’s future, and crafted a series of plausible future scenarios. This was an engaging and interactive scenario-planning workshop taking place over two sessions.
