Great Executive Offsites Start Before the Offsite
You may think all the magic happens at your offsite. At Pearl & Elmore we have a saying "the offsite begins once we start conversations with your team," which often occurs 1-3 months before the offsite.
Sample Executive Offsite Agenda
Pearl & Elmore works closely with your team to understand what matters most to determine what should be covered. This gets your team thinking and talking about the offsite content, which allows the group to make even more progress once together.
Below is a sample agenda that would be developed from pre-offsite conversations. It's built for a remote team that wants to work on their team dynamics, business strategy, remote work practices, managing industry changes, team problem solving, and leveraging skills on the team - in this example, Pearl & Elmore on on-site to facilitate.
