A retreat is a meeting that is typically designed and organized specifically to facilitate the ability of a group to step back from their day-to-day demands and focus on strategic, team building, and related matters. We partner with managers and teams in focusing their efforts to optimize expected objectives and results through designing, facilitating and evaluating expected outcomes for the retreat. Retreat deliverables include design and facilitation, summary documents and follow-up meetings.
Our team has worked with many departments and administrative units from across the University. All services are customized to meet the specifics needs of your team. The first step in engaging our services is to meet with a member of our team to discuss your situation and goals. If you are not sure what you need – that’s ok – that’s what we’re here for! We will discuss the challenges or opportunities you have identified and recommend a plan to achieve your goals by utilizing our research-based resources and proven consulting services.
