Planning an offsite is not a piece of cake. In fact, it's a pie. Every session is some slice of five things: Strategy, Alignment, Education, Inspiration, Vibes.
Planning an offsite is not a piece of cake. In fact, it's a pie.
Every session is some slice of five things: Strategy, Alignment, Education, Inspiration, Vibes. The question is which slice gets the biggest wedge.
You've got limited time, competing priorities, and everyone's got something they want on the agenda.
Most offsites try to give each one equal weight. Most end up doing none of them well.
If it's strategy, you need working sessions, not talks.
If it's inspiration, you need a great speaker, not a breakout.
If it's vibes, maybe you don't need a workshop at all.
But you can have your pie and eat it: a strategy session that builds alignment, an inspiring talk that actually teaches something. An education session that brings the vibes.
This is design, not accident.
The offsite isn't the problem. It's pretending the pie doesn't exist.
If you've got an offsite cooking, the Wavetable team can help you make it both nutritious and delicious. We'll even bring some cake - or pie.
