Strategy & leadership
off-sites

Make time for strategic thinking to create alignment and momentum.

Expertly designed and facilitated strategy sessions that help leadership teams think big, make decisions and move forward together.

Strategy isn’t static

What worked last year might not work tomorrow.

The world outside your business is constantly changing, shaped by the economy, technology, competitors and regulations. Your customers’ needs evolve, and priorities change. You may be experiencing growth, change, mergers, or acquisitions and leaders are often pulled between growth, delivery and firefighting.

It’s easy to get stuck in day-to-day operations and firefighting so that we lose sight of the big picture. Strategic thinking takes a back seat, and decisions are reactive. Old ways of working no longer work, but no one has the space to rethink them.

You might be working hard, but are you working on the right things?

If your business feels stuck, misaligned, or unclear on what comes next, it’s time to create space to refocus.

How we help

We design and facilitate strategy and leadership off-sites, away days and workshops that help leaders, boards, and teams step back from day-to-day pressures and create clarity, alignment and momentum.

Whether you’re navigating change, setting a new direction, or need to reconnect as a leadership team, we create the space for real conversations, fresh thinking, and bold decisions.

Every session is tailored to your goals and business context. We blend proven strategic frameworks with creative facilitation to engage people, unlock insight and turn ideas into action

You’ll leave with shared understanding, clear priorities, plans, and renewed energy to lead. This is a reset for how you think, work and decide together.

What to expect

Strategy isn’t just a business plan in a document. It should be relevant and alive, giving a shared direction, a commitment to focus, and a team aligned on what matters most.

A facilitated workshop will:

  • Align leadership around future goals and direction

  • Build clarity and energy behind your business plan

  • Refresh thinking and challenge assumptions

  • Translate big ideas into focused priorities

  • Strengthen team relationships and accountability

  • Improve performance, decision-making, and engagement across your organisation.

What we offer

From one-off workshops to multi-day off-sites and away days, we offer a flexible range of facilitated sessions to meet your needs

  • Unlock insights: Playing to Win: make deliberate, competitive choices; How Might We and Five Whys prompts to reframe problems to unlock fresh thinking

  • Turn plans into action: OKRs and KPIs, SMART goals and RACI matrix to define actions, owners and plans.

  • Bespoke design rooted in your business context

  • Interactive and inclusive facilitation so everyone’s voice is heard

  • Tools that spark insight, challenge thinking and move things forward

  • A focus on action: every session ends with clear decisions, commitments and an action plan
