A room being set up for a programme
Following on from the formal part

An outing after a morning of meetings

A team outing is often tacked on to something else: a quarterly meeting, a study day or a session with the whole department. That changes the brief quite a bit. The group has already spent half a day indoors, talking and listening a lot. A programme that asks them to sit still again lands badly at that point, however good it is on paper.

So we ask what comes before and how long it lasts. After a morning of meetings we choose something where people get up and move, even if it stays indoors. If the morning was active, it can be the other way round. We set up while you're still busy, so there's no gap between the formal part and the programme. That gap is exactly when a group drifts apart and half of them disappear for a while. For us, a room with power is enough. If the meeting is in the same room, we reset it in between.

What we'd like to know about what comes before

  • How long the group has already been indoors
  • Whether there's been a lot of talking or a lot of moving
  • What time the formal part really ends

How we handle the transition

  • Setting up while you're still busy
  • Resetting the same room in between
  • Starting straight away, with no break where the group disappears

Frequently asked questions

Can the outing follow on from our meeting?

We follow on from a meeting or study day regularly. We set up while you're still busy, so there's no gap between the formal part and the programme. That gap is where a group drifts apart.

Can it take place in the same room as the meeting?

The same room is usually fine. We reset it in between and arrange the layout differently, so it genuinely feels like a different part of the day. If the room is too tight to move around in, we look at another spot in the same building.

How much time is there between the two parts?

A quarter of an hour between the formal part and the programme is enough, provided we can set up beforehand. Without that preparation it becomes forty-five minutes, and by then the group's attention is gone again.

What makes one programme more expensive than another?

Custom content makes a programme more expensive, not the length. The base is €195 for a compact activity. As soon as a storyline of its own, custom design or actors are added, the amount goes up, because there's build time in that.
