A Rewilding Strategy
An off-site with purpose
The Brief
A global headhunting firm came to us looking to breathe new life into their annual strategy off-site. Traditionally held in plush hotels with the usual mix of meetings, drinks, and dinners, the leadership team was ready for something different, something that would encourage real connection, create lasting impact and ensure a great time for everyone!
They wanted us to design a light-hearted and engaging experience where business strategy and human connection could happen beyond the confines of a conference room. Read on to find out what we created.
The key details:
Event Type: Senior Leadership Strategy Off-Site
Attendees: 30 Senior Managers
Duration: 2 Days, 1 Night

The Big Idea
After a creative pitching process, we landed on an immersive countryside retreat designed to blend strategic thinking with outdoor adventure. Our goals were simple:
· Encourage authentic connection
· Reconnect the team with nature
· Replace PowerPoint with people-powered play
The Highlights
We kicked off in an oak-framed barn—light-filled, characterful, and a far cry from fluorescent lighting and stale coffee.
This got pretty competitive and was incorporated into a countryside quest where teams had to complete absurd challenges to crack a locked chest and uncover clues.
After the strategy session, we wanted to get everyone out of work mode with an an invigorating walk through the Berkshire hills up to the highest point in the county where a beautiful picnic was awaiting them.
Dinner under the stars that the teams cooked themselves, good wine, great company, and an overnight stay in luxury bell tents brought the group together in a new way.
Guests were invited to sunrise yoga the next morning...little did they know that they'd be joined by pygmy goats who love to hop on your back while your doing the plank!
