In the Get Focused phase, Coraggio Group will use everything they learned in the Get Clear phase to shape the key elements of the Montana Resiliency Plan. This includes identifying action items and investment priorities at the regional and statewide levels. Coraggio Group continues to collaborate with the local community task forces, in tandem with the Montana Department of Commerce, Brand MT and the Statewide Steering Committee, to coordinate this phase of work.

Get Moving is the implementation phase of the strategic planning work. Once Coraggio Group finalizes the plan, the Montana Department of Commerce will lead implementation efforts across the state.
