Questions this document answers
Catalytic questions are key questions that matter most to the organization's mission and long-term positioning, balancing generative, strategic, and fiduciary lenses.
The generative lens addresses the 'why' or identity aspects, such as purpose and values, in catalytic questions.
The strategic lens addresses the 'what' in catalytic questions, focusing on impact and measurable outcomes.
The fiduciary lens addresses 'how' resources and budgets enable strategic goals through catalytic questions.
The purpose of the workshop is to move the board out of day-to-day fiduciary mode and into strategic and generative thinking that sets a clear, disciplined agenda for the next 12-24 months.
