For over 48 years, we have employed and evaluated literally thousands of resources. The 60 Minute Strategic Plan scores in the top one-half percent when it comes to repeatedly delivering value and impacting the lives of our members. That’s an amazingly consistent accomplishment—like a 3,000 hitter in baseball.Richard Carr, Vistage International, an international organization of 12,0000 CEOs
It’s as if we had been walking around in the dark and suddenly someone turned on the lights. This is the first process I have been able to implement in my organization succinctly and successfully with little effort the first time.Timothy J. Leach, President/CEO, FP Technologies, Inc.
As a ‘C’ level exec who has purchased any number of strategic planning books and seminars over the years, I liked the 60 Minute system—very user friendly and produces results quickly. The book worked as a great tool to facilitate this.Johanna Steans, CEO, JTS Enterprises Group LLC

60 Minute Strategic Plan Workshop Participant Comments
We found it straightforward, easy to understand, not intimidating, and it makes good sense. We have used the ‘60 Minute’ process for three years now at our strategic retreats.
Down-to-earth planning process. This is a winner.
Should be a required tool for all CEOs.
An indelible impression—best one-page condensation of a strategic plan I have ever seen.
I wasn’t prepared to be impressed…sounded gimmicky. I freely admit I was wrong. I was impressed.
Old pros or novices, everybody benefits from this process.
This process has ‘legs.’ I found it easy to explain. This has a good chance of becoming standard procedure in my company.
A very practical, step‑by‑step strategic planning process that cuts through a lot of the fog and confusion that sometimes invades well-intentioned planning processes.
Forced me to be specific; clarified my thinking. User friendly, easy to follow, enjoyable.
I found it useful in a full range of situations, from relatively small to company‑wide projects.
Your class gave me a real good, simple method. It broke the steps down clearly. After filling in some stuff in class, I was able to redo a strategic plan in 30 minutes. I felt so energized and in control, it was liberating. Can't wait to work at some other plans I have in mind.
