Ideally, everyone in the organization (staff, board, key volunteers) would start this journey at the same time. Unlike the Individual journey, this journey requires group discussions and group decision-making. Therefore, it is not feasible for just a few individuals in the organization to embark on this journey.

If the entire organization is not ready to take on this work at the same time, certain groups or parts of the organization could embark on this journey separately. It is best if the group represents an entire part of the organization, for example, all of the staff or all of the board members. Start with the group that is most committed to taking on this work.

The resources provided for this journey are more action-oriented, with examples and templates. As opposed to the Individual journey, the range of responses for the organization’s check-in (evaluation) should be shared with all participants and used to select the topics the group will explore. You may decide to address gaps by beginning with topics that received lower ratings. Or you may decide to begin with your strengths and choose the topics that received the highest ratings. Discuss the pros and cons of each and start with what you think will work best for your organization. If what you decided isn’t working as intended, discuss this as a group and change your strategy.
