Matt’s experience working with associations, MLSs, large brokers, and real estate technology leaders enables us to bring a unique perspective to your leadership team and planning session. Matt provides strategic planning meetings ranging from a three-quarter-day planning session to a two-day planning session, and can tailor the agenda for your organization’s needs, ensuring that your key issues are discussed. Depending on how you want to structure the meeting and its length, it can have a structured agenda including presentations and exercises moving the group from mission and strategy through tactics and action plans – or it can be more of a facilitated think-tank.

Strategic Planning for Technology Businesses

Matt can provide a range of planning exercises as described above, covering all aspects of business planning, from product evaluation and planning to sales and marketing strategies – all the way through exit strategy. Matt brings deep business and technical acumen to these engagements, as well as its extensive industry knowledge and relationships. Usually, in this type of business planning, prior to the planning meeting, Matt evaluates products, surveys customers, holds discussions, or gathers other information.
