Offsite Planning for the Faint of Heart
summary
Describes a repeatable plan: set specific goals, arrange logistics, add a “special sauce.” Uses core hours plus repeated sessions for time zones, sends gift boxes and runs unboxing parties, and requires a Monday “travel day” to prep. Uses interactive tools like Mural, breakout rooms and exercises (balloon towers with teams of 5–6, 5 min planning + 10 min build; craft exercise in triads: architect/guide/builder) and books practical facilitation tips so virtual offsites reliably produce decisions and follow‑ups.
