No time to stop.

“Our remote marketing team joined a three-day strategy retreat with next + future in Manchester. We’d tried many formats before with mixed results, but this was different.

They helped us cut through dozens of competing ideas and land on the few initiatives that truly mattered. The process created real buy-in, felt natural and unforced, and left us with clarity, momentum, and a focused action plan that shaped our year ahead.

Not all strategy sessions deliver. This one did.”

—David Appleyard, Envato

“Recently, I had the pleasure of joining a next + future strategy day. Set in the beautiful Etherow Valley, it was a fantastic opportunity to step away from the laptop and talk with like-minded individuals, each looking to address a strategic challenge in their organisation.

I think next + future are on to something. Not just your average away day, not just your average strategy day, but a setting and structure designed to help senior leaders step back and get under the skin of what’s stopping them move forward.

Also, the food was ace.”

—Martin Tapley, Consultant Strategy Director

“Sparro booked a next + future workshop using the Growth Navigator Canvas and I can say the canvas + Matt Lacey and Joel Bankhead helped to facilitate discussions that have been missing in the business for months. We weren’t exactly lost, but we hadn’t confirmed where we were going next and that’s the outcome we came out with, not just a to-do list but a destination to be aiming for.

I can’t recommend them both enough and it’s yet again another reason that you often need to be taking a step back so you can see the wood from the trees.”

—Niki Estrella, Sparro
