At Adisa Communications, we believe clarity builds confidence—and confidence drives results. That’s why when Huston-Tillotson University (HT) prepared to launch its new ten-year strategic plan, its leadership team turned to Adisa to guide a pivotal three-day retreat designed to transform goals into shared purpose.
Hosted at the Holdsworth Center in Austin, the retreat—facilitated by Team Adisa—brought together HT’s leadership, led by President Dr. Melva K. Wallace, for a focused and energizing experience centered on alignment, trust, and teamwork.
Turning Plans into Purpose
Over three days, our team guided HT leaders through exercises and discussions designed to connect strategy with the people responsible for carrying it out. Each session emphasized collaboration and reflection—ensuring that every voice in the room was heard.
Day One centered on building relationships and understanding team dynamics. Day Two focused on HT’s strategic plan—identifying how institutional goals align with individual roles and responsibilities. On the final day, participants explored how to sustain the momentum and translate vision into measurable action for the upcoming academic year.
By the end of the retreat, HT’s leadership team left reinvigorated—with a deeper sense of connection, a clearer roadmap for implementation, and renewed excitement about the future of their university.
The Adisa Way: Strategy with Soul
For nearly 30 years, Adisa has partnered with educational institutions, public agencies, and nonprofits to create strategy-driven, results-oriented plans that reflect the values and aspirations of the people behind them. Our facilitation process blends clarity, creativity, care, and connection—the four pillars that define The Adisa Way.
Our approach goes beyond planning. We help teams align vision, build trust, and communicate effectively across departments and leadership levels. Whether developing long-range strategies, conducting equity-based planning sessions, or hosting leadership retreats, we focus on ensuring that every participant walks away clear on what success looks like—and how to get there.
Strategy as a Living Process
Strategic plans can’t thrive in binders. They need to live in the daily actions of the people who bring them to life. Adisa’s facilitation creates the space for leaders to think, connect, and collaborate with intention. By combining structured frameworks with room for reflection, our retreats help organizations translate ambition into alignment.
