This week's episode is about taking a retreat to the next level. What if you had an unlimited set of options and budget, how would you do it? We collect user input on what people are looking for at retreat as we're designing it. The overall experience is an emergent property of group dynamics. So there's what the people say they want, and then there's also sensing what is missing,.What's erwhele me, or what's actually happening.
Wait, haven’t we already covered retreats? Yes. But if the first one explored key dos and don’ts, this one imagines the retreat as a blank sheet of paper and invites you to ask: With unlimited options, what would you do? How would you take an off-site from good to great to transcendent? What’s the space where strategy meets luxury and how can you plan a rewarding experience that includes real work? Well, we’ve got a few ideas.
In this episode of Brave New Work, Aaron Dignan and Rodney Evans dig into the logistical, emotional, and design considerations that went into our most recent retreat to help us overhaul old habits; provoke bigger questions and bigger bets; and use fun as a guide. And regardless of organizational size or budget, you can create that time and space, too.
