Strategy offsites, workshops and inhouse programmes for leadership teams
We design and facilitate the strategy offsites, executive offsites and leadership workshops in which leadership teams align, commit and execute. A Hamburg-based strategy consulting firm, on site wherever your team meets.
Get in touchOur formatsYour meeting
Three formats, one standard: it ends with decisions
Pick the format that fits the decision in front of your team. Every one of them is designed with you, prepared weeks ahead and facilitated by one or two senior partners.
Strategy offsite
For leadership teams that need to choose. From an honest picture of today through Three Horizons to three to five critical battles, owners and 90-day OKRs.
Strategy offsite in six steps →Executive offsite
For executive teams that have a strategy and need to execute it. An honest status quo, the critical few, an operating rhythm and the message to the organisation.
Executive offsite in six steps →Leadership workshop
For leadership teams whose strategy is set and whose execution is not. Alignment, decision rights, working agreements and a steering rhythm that survives the quarter.
The leadership workshop →Your need
What the offsite has to solve
Every offsite answers one question your leadership team has not yet answered in the normal rhythm of meetings. These are the five we are asked for most.
Strategy development
Where we play and how we win, seen through Three Horizons.
The critical few
Three to five priorities, explicit trade-offs and a stop list.
Strategy execution
Owners, 90-day OKRs and a rhythm of reviews that holds.
Resource allocation
Budget and people distributed in the open, with a fixed number of chips, instead of behind closed doors.
Decision rights
Who decides what, by when, and how the team unblocks itself.
How we work
Most of the work happens before the offsite
A good offsite starts on the first slide with the real question, because the preparation has already surfaced where the team agrees and where it does not.
Define, listen, pre-read
- Prep session with you: the decisions the offsite must make, the inputs it needs, the outputs it delivers
- Short interviews or a survey with every participant
- A tight pre-read, so nobody presents the status quo on the day
See, choose, commit
- Facts on the wall within the first hour
- Everyone writes before anyone speaks; pitch, vote, decide
- Three to five priorities, each with a name next to it
- The first review booked before anyone leaves
Keep the momentum
- A plan on one page for the whole company
- On request we facilitate the monthly reviews and the first reset check after 90 days
