We design and deliver experiential sessions that use a variety of interactive elements to facilitate dialogue around your team’s most pressing challenges and opportunities while developing their own abilities as leaders.

Sessions can be held in-person or virtually and range from 1-3 days.

 

Why Your Team Needs An Offsite

The most impactful offsites use a variety of interactive elements to facilitate dialogue around participants’ most pressing challenges and opportunities, all while developing their ability to work as a team. A McChrystal Group-led simulation creates more engagement and learning than a keynote-style presentation alone, ensuring a powerful discussion on what operating as a TEAM OF TEAMS® could mean for your organization.

This whole workshop and exercise allowed us to think long term, short term, in terms of anticipating failure, and really reflect internally with the organization.
