LET'S CHAT

Type of Retreat

Annual planning

Boards, executive teams and whole businesses will often head away to review and celebrate the year that was, whilst making plans for the year ahead.

Team Strategy

Individual teams within an organisation will often use 2-3 days away to align towards a new direction, set team targets and build team capacity via training or working better together.

Problem Solving

Taking time out to truly work on a systemic issue or to get ahead of a potential future problem can make a huge difference to a business. It is too easy to let issues slip or not deal with them properly when it is done in the middle of the day to day pressures of work.
