Client Story

Client Snapshot

The Stanford Faculty Club is a private, non-profit membership organization serving Stanford University faculty, administrative staff, and affiliates. Its mission is to provide a welcoming venue that fosters fellowship, collegiality, and the exchange of ideas.

The Opportunity

The Stanford Faculty Club brought in Manresa Collaboration as a design and facilitation partner to structure and guide their Board of Directors retreat. The goals were to celebrate recent accomplishments, identify future initiatives, and align on board priorities in a structured, engaging format.

Our Approach

Manresa Collaboration designed and facilitated a full-day planning retreat grounded in design thinking, collaborative group process, and live visual facilitation. The experience created space for both individual reflection and small-team collaboration, culminating in rich dialogue and strategic clarity.

Outcomes

  • Aligned on 15 top-priority initiatives grounded in shared goals and board priorities
  • Defined actionable next steps for each initiative
  • In a few cases, identified owners or champions to move efforts forward
  • Strengthened alignment, engagement, and energy across the board
