Engineering Leadership Offsite | International group

Case Study 1

Für acht Abteilungsleiter eines internationalen Technologie- und Anlagenbauunternehmens haben wir ein zweitägiges Offsite auf einer Berghütte in der Vorlapenregion konzipiert und begleitet – maßgeschneidert auf die spezifische Situation des Teams. Zwei Methodenbeispiele: World Café schaffte schnell Überblick, brachte die drängenden Themen des Arbeitsalltags auf den Tisch – und machte sichtbar, was sonst im Tagesgeschäft untergeht. Die anschließende Community-Building-Praxis wurde gezielt auf den Bedarf abgestimmt: Zuhören, Unmut konstruktiv äußern und gegenseitige Wertschätzung schafften die Basis für verlässliche Zusammenarbeit auch über Standorte hinweg.

Background

The client’s wish: a strong team in which everyone trusts one another implicitly, reliability is fostered, and coordination is easily achieved even across different locations.

Procedure

In consultation with our client, we developed the concept to meet their needs and facilitated the off-site event. The carefully chosen location took the team away from their day-to-day work and into the mountainous landscape of the Alpine foothills. The hike to the hut and the convivial evening were part of the process.

Result

By the end of the programme, the team had developed stronger relationships, greater trust, a shared language and a clearer understanding of leadership.

Case Study 2

We designed and facilitated a two-day off-site event for eight department heads at an international technology and plant engineering company, held at a mountain chalet in the Vorlappen region – tailored to the team’s specific situation. Two examples of the methods used:
The World Café quickly provided an overview, brought the pressing issues of day-to-day work to the table – and highlighted what would otherwise be lost in the day-to-day hustle and bustle. The subsequent community-building exercise was specifically tailored to the participants’ needs: listening, expressing dissatisfaction constructively and showing mutual appreciation laid the foundations for reliable collaboration, even across different locations.
