Company outing
in The Hague
A company outing brings together people who at most know each other from email. That calls for a different format from a day with one team. From €195 for the group.
When departments only know each other by name
A company outing in The Hague often brings together departments that normally move past each other in day-to-day work. Policy, operations, communications and support are in the same building and barely speak. If you put that group in a room without a plan, everyone sits next to their own colleagues and the day is over without anyone having spoken to someone new. That's why we split the teams in advance, cutting across the departments, and give each team a task that only works if knowledge from several areas comes together.
From you we need a room or some outdoor space, power, and a list of departments and numbers. That list is the only thing we really need to work out the split, and the rougher the better, because exact names don't help us. We bring everything else, from task materials to sound. Setting up takes about an hour, and that time isn't counted in the programme length. For a compact format, prices start at €195.
What goes wrong without a split

- Afterwards nobody knows more people than before
How we mix the group

Frequently asked questions
Do you put the teams together or do we?
We put the teams together, and we do it deliberately across the departments. If you let the group choose for itself, you get the same cliques as in the canteen. All we need for that is a list of departments and numbers.
Does this also work if departments would rather avoid each other?
We don't put departments that get on badly against each other. We put them in the same team. A shared opponent works better than a competition among themselves, because people then seek each other out instead of trying to prove themselves right.
How many departments can take part at the same time?
The number of departments matters less than the total number of people. Up to about sixty participants we work with teams running at the same time. Above that we run activities side by side and bring extra hosts.
What does a company outing for several departments cost?
A compact company outing starts at €195. What it ends up costing depends on the number of participants and the duration, because the number of activities and the hosting depend on them. After the first conversation you'll get a firm price.
