Team outing
in The Hague
Where an activity sits in the day decides whether it works. We fit the schedule around whatever else is on the programme. From €195 for the group.
Why the order of the day matters
The order of a team day matters more than the programme itself. A physical activity right after lunch rarely works, because the group has just settled and is slow to get going again. Something seated right at the start doesn't work either, because there's no energy yet to build on. What does work: opening with a format where people mix and move around, then eating, and closing the afternoon with something where everyone sits down and still takes part. That way the day moves with the group rather than against it.
We agree the schedule beforehand based on what else is happening that day. If there's a meeting in the morning, our part starts more actively. If there's dinner in the evening, we keep the last block shorter. From you we need a room, power and a rough timeline for the day. Setting up takes about an hour, and that time isn't part of the programme duration.
What works when
- Movement at the start, while the group is still warming up
- Food in the middle, not at the end
- A seated format at the end that everyone can join
What we ask beforehand
- How much meeting time there's already been that day
- Whether anything follows the programme
- How long people have been travelling
Frequently asked questions
Can the team outing follow on from our meeting?
We often follow on from a meeting, and it decides how our part begins. After a morning of sitting, the programme opens more actively, so people get out of their chairs before anything is asked of them.
What's a sensible length for the active part?
An active block works best at forty-five to ninety minutes. Shorter than that and the group has only just got going; longer and attention drops and people start checking their watches. So we split a longer programme into blocks with breaks in between.
What happens if the morning overruns?
We absorb an overrunning morning by shortening activities instead of cutting them, so the structure of the day stays intact. We agree beforehand how late it may run, so we know where we can win time back.
Can the programme also take place entirely after work?
After work is fine, and then we deliberately choose a format where people sit and don't have to run. Someone who's had a full working day won't get moving for a physical activity, and that's not a matter of motivation.
Where does the price difference between two programmes come from?
The price difference between two programmes almost always lies in the preparation, not in the day itself. An existing format that we adapt to your team starts at €195. A set-up that's devised and built from scratch costs more, because hours go into it before we're anywhere near the venue.
