Offsite plaNning & facilitation
Context
When produced properly, offsites and other multi-day company events are among the most powerful formats for driving change. There is simply no substitute for extensive and intensive, in-person, interaction, conducted away from daily operational distractions. Having assisted with the structuring and facilitation of dozens of executive offsites and annual SKOs, we have developed a methodology that can help make your next event a successful one. This model includes 6 business blocks:
Mission
- Have a clearly defined and relevant ROI.
- Leverage the power of Total Immersion.
- Leverage the power of a Theme.
Success Measures
✓ Alignment - all attendees are aware of the company’s set strategy and of their role’s in driving to it’s realization.
✓ Engagement - all attendees are actively involved in the various sessions and activities and feel that have a voice which is being heard by others in the company.
✓ Knowledge sharing - all attendees walk away with a clearer understanding and deeper appreciation for the quality and load of work done by their peers (especially their critical interfaces).
✓ Improved relationships - remote and purely function interactions become more interpersonal and friendly thanks to the positive quality of their interactions during the offsite
✓ Followup - decisions and other actionable insights that were reached during the offsite are followed up on, much thanks to the personal ownership and accountability each attendee walks away with
"Ariel had an important role in making our company's leadership offsite the great success that it was. He quickly obtained a deep understanding of our company's core essence, established a meaningful connection among the company leaders and contributed to the company's long-term success."
