The Challenge

As a non-profit, volunteer-run organization, the Boulder Potters’ Guild has become a thriving community of almost 80 members. After 50 years of continued growth, the Guild looks to the next 50 years and what it might become. The challenge, is to develop a strategic vision and core values that the Guild can use to guide its efforts in the coming years.

The Solution

The Bridge Studio designed and facilitated a day long retreat with the Board of Directors to complete a SWOT Analysis (Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, and Threats), craft a vision statement, and identify core values for the organization. Each of these products was produced using creative and collaborative exercises, grounded in meditation and self reflection.

The Impact

Aside from the specific outputs of SWOT analysis, vision statement, and core values, this retreat provided a team building opportunity and consensus building.
