Corporate Retreats

Organizations commonly use retreats as information sessions, to acquire input and feedback on issues, and to launch strategic initiatives..all of which are highly useful! What's uncommon is having retreats that actually inspire participants and cause them to generate ideas and initiatives that are beyond "business as usual. "

As facilitators of Corporate Retreats, Dorrier Underwood consultants are committed to creating opportunities for your team to discover new ways to relate to each other and your organization, and to generate the kind of momentum required to actually complete tasks and produce breakthroughs in productivity and company performance...and to do so in ways that are rigorous, intriguing, and fun.

Clients typically conduct Corporate Retreats for:

• Opening up communications & unifying teams
• Aligning teams on corporate Vision and Mission
• Determining strategies for accomplishing Mission
• Prioritizing mission critical activities and developing action plans
• Developing change strategies
• Developing succession plans for next generation of leadership
• Initiating breakthrough projects

Dorrier Underwood's process honors everyone's contribution, breaks down the walls of office politics, and generates creative work sessions that actually produce results. Here's how we do it:

• Collaborate with the person accountable for the outcomes of the retreat (the champion) to clarify the goals for the retreat;
• Interview participants prior to the retreat to have people state their goals for the retreat and elicit their full engagement and participation; and
• Engage participants in follow up conversations to make sure the actions created at the retreat are actually being carried out.
