ERG Strategy Sprint

Strategic Annual Planning

Why Strategy Still Feels Elusive

Even the most passionate ERG leaders get stuck. Goals are vague. Events feel disconnected. Leadership support is lukewarm. And annual planning? It’s often a last-minute scramble, if it’s done at all.

Our Strategic Planning & Facilitation services shift your ERG efforts from reactive to intentional. We guide your teams through a focused, fast-moving strategy process that delivers alignment, clarity, and a roadmap you can run with.

Solutions We Offer

Fast-paced, focused workshops to align leads, sponsors, and stakeholders around a shared direction. Perfect for launching, relaunching, or recalibrating.

A structured session (or series) that sets priorities, goals, and rhythms for the year, so ERGs aren’t just busy, they’re impactful.

A deliverable you can actually use: one clear, branded document that outlines your focus areas, KPIs, timelines, and responsibilities.

Tailored slides, talking points, and framing documents to help ERG leads and sponsors clearly communicate goals and needs to execs.

ERG programs entering a new fiscal or calendar planning cycle

Organizations preparing for a ERG refresh, offsite, or leadership transition

ERG leaders looking to elevate ERG impact and visibility across the business

Why This Works

Most ERG strategy sessions are either too fluffy or too tactical. Ours are designed to give your team structure, buy-in, and a repeatable model they can build on every year.

We bring:

Proven facilitation for both ERG program managers and leaders

Tools to anchor your strategy to real metrics and outcomes

A coach’s mindset and a consultant’s eye for systems

What our clients are saying

Sharitta has been a partner for about a year now and I cannot say enough about the support she’s provided. Specifically, she’s supported our continuing education for our Employee Resource Group Leads and strategic development that’s allowed us to position the ERGs as a resource across the business. Not only is Sharitta knowledgeable and innovative, she is also wonderful to work with. Her framework allowed us to stay in line with industry standards while tailoring our approach to the strategy that we have outlined as an organization. 10/10 – highly recommend.

Tai Dotson

It was a wonderful experience working with Sharitta and Visionary Development. She is an exceptional communicator and took the time to understand the needs of our organization as well as the status of our ERG leaders. Her ability to not only provided our leaders with tangible tools to help them effectively plan their programs while educating and empowering our leaders simultaneously was outstanding. At this pivotal point in DEI work across industries taking the steps to dive deeper in more meaningful conversation is a must and Sharitta did that and much more.
