# Guides to strategy, culture and offsites

**Short answer:** GetSorted's guides give plain answers to the questions leaders of Australian businesses ask about strategy and culture: why plans fail after the offsite, how to write values that change behaviour, a two-day offsite agenda, running EOS, what an offsite costs, and how to measure whether it worked. They're useful whether or not you work with GetSorted.

## Why do strategic plans fail?

Mostly in execution, not design: the plan lives in a deck, has too many priorities, has no owners, and leaves culture out.

## How many company values should a business have?

Three to five, each written as a behaviour someone can use when it's busy.

## How long should a leadership offsite be?

Two days, with preparation done before: one day for direction, one for behaviours and ownership.

## How much does a strategy offsite cost in Australia?

Usually $8,000 to $20,000 for a two-day facilitator, plus venue and time. GetSorted is $25,000 including 90 days of follow-through.
