From Strategy to Systemic Transformation Workshop #2 July 28

A 3-Hour Intensive for Results-Driven Texas Administrators

Strategic plans fail when they are too broad to execute or too detached from economic reality. This summer, join NorthStar Education Advisors for a streamlined, three-part series designed to help you prioritize, engage your community, and build a system that moves.

This series will take place on July 14th, July 28th, and August 11th from 4 PM to 5 PM CST.

Workshop 2: The Friction-Informed Goal

Focus: Iterative Goal Refining & Identifying Blockers

A goal is only as good as your plan to overcome the obstacles in its way. This session is a “working lab” where we stress-test your Workshop 1 objectives.

• The Iteration Loop: Experience a rapid cycle of Write → Identify Friction → Refine. You will walk away with goals that are “friction-proofed.”

Workshop 3: Closing the Gap with Sprints

Focus: From Refined Goals to 30-Day Levers

The final hour is dedicated to the “How.” We turn your refined goals into a repeatable management rhythm for your leadership team.

• The 30-Day Sprint: Learn to break a year-long goal into a single “lever” that creates immediate momentum in the first month of school.
• The Power of One (SPA): Single Point of Accountability. You’ll learn how to assign one “owner” per goal to eliminate the “bystander effect” in cabinet meetings.

Key Deliverables

• The Impact/Effort Audit Tool: A framework to evaluate every current district initiative.
• The 2026-2027 Sprint Template: Your roadmap for the first 30, 60, and 90 days of the academic year.
