Off-Sites and Facilitation

---

NextGenLeaders has an extensive track record of helping clients design and facilitate compelling Off-Site Retreats. Sometimes you need to step back in order to move forward.  

Off-sites provide a great opportunity to accomplish tangible outcomes such as:

• Building community, culture and a sense of collective purpose
• Testing ideas and concepts
• Generating solutions and alternative scenarios
• Setting goals and defining clear and measurable priorities
• Creating alignment and commitment to a shared action agenda
• Demonstrating leadership
• Celebrating accomplishments
• Having the tough and needed conversations to resolve business or interpersonal      hurdles that may be limiting your team's success at execution.

The purpose, audience, format, style, venue and intensity of Off-Sites vary widely. Some examples include:

• Intimate executive retreats that align core business priorities and create the space to have productive and challenging conversations about the topics that really matter.
• Large Future Search or World-Café type conferences (from 100-1000 people) that explore what's happening in the world or specific marketplace, provide forums for talking about opportunities and threats, and generate creative options to wicked problems with no clear cut, single right answer.
• Team building retreats that strengthen the level of alignment, engagement and commitment to clear team outcomes.
• Fast Track Change Off-Sites that mobilize a set of teams dealing with significant organizational change such as integrating an acquisition, shifting a business strategy, or implementing a new technology. These retreats help a Program Management Office (PMO) accelerate the change, reduce anxiety, and build alignment around a common blueprint for change.
• Talent Review Off-sites to size up current bench strength, provide feedback and have meaningful conversations about the development of nextgen leaders and succession.
• 'Home Inspection' retreats that allow participants to step back and take a fresh look at company strengths, assets, vulnerabilities, risks and readiness for change.
• Design Charrettes that help people visualize and connect with the future and explore alternative scenarios

We would be delighted to speak with you about how we might help you plan and execute your next Off-site.
