Team Offsite Sumo: Golf Outing vs 48 Innovate

By K. Melissa Kennedy Blog, employee engagement, employeee-driven innovation, team building team building, team offsite

This series of posts compares common team building offsite activities to our 48 Innovate experience.

There are usually 2 goals when companies do team offsites:

To build a stronger bond among teammates in order to be more productive and successful
To share information and collaborate toward some plan or outcome with maybe the side benefits of the listed above number one goal – team spirit

We would put our 48 Innovate experience up against any team offsite exercise in order to accomplish both of the goals above and offer measurable results too.

Golf Outing

Goal: Build team spirit, let loose a little and relax

Time: 1 day – 8 to 10 hours

Outcome: A fun time, personal connections and a hefty bar tab 😉

Vs

48 Innovate

Goal: Build an actionable plan to solve a key organizational challenge, infuse entrepreneurial mindset and practices, build team bonds and confidence, actively engage employees in impacting the business, and have a little fun too.

Time: 2 days – 48 hours

Outcome: 30-40 flash ideas and 5-7 business cases to solve a REAL department challenge, empowered employees with new knowledge of lean startup methodologies, stronger functional team bonds and a fun, high energy experience that offers bottom-line impacting results.

You decide the winner…
