NFP Peak Body (Business) - Strategic Planning Workshop - Northam, WA

Client: Wheatbelt Business Network (WBN)

Timeline: June 2025

The Wheatbelt Business Network, the peak body for business in the Wheatbelt region, engaged Wander to deliver a strategic planning session with its Board. The two-hour workshop provided an opportunity to reflect on WBN’s role as a regional leader, explore long-term priorities, and test new ways of thinking about the organisation’s direction.

Wander facilitated the session with a mix of practical strategy and provocative questioning. By asking both tough and deliberately “proposterous” questions, we encouraged Board members to stretch their thinking beyond the immediate and into the aspirational. This process created space for reflection on WBN’s strengths and challenges, while also opening up bold ideas for how the organisation could better serve its members and the broader Wheatbelt economy.

The session produced clarity on WBN’s core purpose, sparked conversation about new opportunities, and identified focus areas for further planning and action. More importantly, it demonstrated the value of structured facilitation in helping Boards step outside their day-to-day, reframe assumptions and challenge themselves with fresh perspectives.

This project highlights Wander’s expertise in strategy, facilitation and governance support, showing how even short, targeted sessions can provide leaders with renewed energy, sharper focus, and new insights to guide their work.
