No one knows the challenges and the assets of your site like your own people. I’m the expert on the planning process; you’re the experts of your resources. I train and facilitate the folks you’ve already invested in so that they create the plan, and I mean all your folks. Front line staff, maintenance, management, educators, animal care, board — they all have equal input. Team input gives them ownership and buy-in because it’s their plan. That buy-in means this isn’t a plan that sits on the shelf — it’s a plan destined for completion.
