"The 3-day offsite really got us together as a team and focused our common efforts on what was significant for our organization transitioning to closure." Following the initial strategic planning offsite, the Base Transition Steering Committee (BTSC) was formed as an Executive Steering Committee to oversee completion and implementation of the plan.

"The transition process for the base had not yet been determined. We didn't know what was happening with the operational units, whether the air station would close up, whether we would move, or what the timeline was. So a strategic plan to carry us through for who knows how long or for what goals we figured that we'd better wait to finish it until we got the word on what was happening." The Chiefs Round Table made positive contributions to the completion and further deployment of the strategic plan. "The chiefs took the goals and came up with some great objectives and elements. They really put more action into the plan."

1. The chiefs reviewed, validated, and augmented the strategic plan.
2. The chiefs' buy-in to the plan was obtained.
3. The chiefs contributed a work-oriented perspective to the plan.
4. The session resulted in team-building within the mid-level management group.
5. The chiefs were exposed to TQL processes.
