NOTES TAKEN BY JEREMY DURING THE CONVERSATION
3 Tips for Effective Gatherings
-
- Desired Effect/Outcome
- So what? What does success look like? Fast forward 30 days after the offsite, how will we know we were successful? Tell us a story of what that would look like?
- No more than 3 outcomes
- An Agenda is the LAST Thing You Should Do
- 1 activity or experience per effect/outcome
- A central question that you’re solving, which guides the offsite toward the same direction (what is our Q4 plan? How do we gain trust amongst the team?)
- Landing the Plane
- Do NOT rush or hurry the ending
- Finish offsite by focusing on integration vs information sharing (use questions)
- After the event = plan the after-show
- Already have it on the calendar, assign to members of team
- Desired Effect/Outcome
