"Getting out of the office" to think and plan without day-to-day distractions can be a good break for management teams and boards. Offsite meetings can be simple or elaborate, inexpensive or costly, regular/frequent or irregular/infrequent, local or faraway. They can be for small or large groups of managers. Whatever your style, offsite meetings that are properly planned and run can produce good will, teamwork, and fresh ideas.

Often, management wants to participate, not facilitate. That's where we enter the picture. We have facilitated many offsite meetings on topics such as strategic direction, sales/marketing, operational planning, new product discussions, business process analysis, or new management concepts/readings.

Generally, we work with senior management to prepare for the meetings by going over content, agenda, timing, special issues, expected outcomes and follow up steps.

Let us help you plan and conduct your next offsite meeting.
