Pre-Retreat Guidance
Falmouth Institute encourages mutual involvement and open communication between our organizations as we begin planning and building your retreat. Our approach to providing technical assistance in Indian Country looks to gather input and information from all retreat participants and to consolidate input and objectives from key stakeholders to define key tasks, milestones and responsibilities. By identifying these benchmarks and setting this foundation in advance, we'll be able to maximize your time and resources during this effort.

Guided Discovery Retreat
The ability to plan with accuracy and foresight is the cornerstone of a successful tribal operation. During this process, you'll examine the unique role that culture plays in effective planning and the tools you can use to analyze your organization and the needs of your community. During your retreat, our facilitators will work with you step-by-step to reach your goals and prepare for the future. As you discover ways to establish a direction for your organization, you'll also understand how to evaluate the plan's success and make necessary modifications as your knowledcge, capabilities and expectations grow.

Post-Retreat Support
To provide ongoing and consistent support and resources, Falmouth will work with your team to realize the gains and results identified during the retreat process. This follow up includes assessing the steps and tasks as they are accomplished and discussing solutions to obstacles and interference, which challenge successful outcomes.
