Team retreats

Taking time out to consider your business objectives, strategies and progress

What this entails

This forum is employed when it’s time to step away from the daily activities in your business to contemplate a better, more successful future.

As an experienced independent facilitator, I help to keep the discussion on track, ensure all participant views are considered and outcomes agreed.

More than this, you can expect that I will challenge current thinking, share observations I’ve gleaned from other businesses, contribute original ideas and make helpful observations.

This forum works well with groups of up to 12. For small firms this will likely include all team members. For larger businesses, the attendees will likely comprise your leadership team.

Importance of preparation

The key to success is determining a clear set of outcomes beforehand. Preparation could also include circulating a bespoke questionnaire to the participants ahead of time , with the subsequent analysis of the responses being fed into the discussion on the day.

Aspects you may wish to consider on your team retreat

The beauty of this forum is that the agenda is tailored specifically to suit you. The agenda is determined in close consultation having regard to what you want to achieve and who will be in attendance.

To get you thinking, successful retreats with other clients have included a range of segments, with the most common including  –

  • Corporate values, mission and vision
  • Determining and articulating your ideal client categories
  • “Why should I choose you?” – a process I developed and refinded to discover points of competitive advantage
  • Team cohesion, based upon personality profiles obtained from the participants beforehand
  • Resolution of specific issues and roadblocks
  • Launch of a corporate rebrand
  • 4 day week/5 hour work day
  • Succession and exit matters
