Every programme ends with a debrief and agreed next steps. ### Why a good day out is not always enough Classic team building is valuable: people get to know each other and trust grows. But many companies come to us with a more specific problem. Priorities are unclear, decisions take too long, departments do not share information, or the leadership team is about to plan in a market nobody can predict. For these situations we design programmes that are still engaging and often take place in great locations, but are built around a business outcome. ### Formats and indicative budgets - **Half day** at your office or a nearby venue: one focused simulation or workshop with a full debrief. Indicatively from €70 to €250 per person for facilitation and materials, depending on group size. - **Full day:** a simulation or workshop combined with work on your real decisions. Indicatively from €120 to €450 per person, plus venue and catering. - **2–3 day offsite:** a complete programme with travel, accommodation, working sessions and an experience such as a regatta, orienteering or a crisis simulation. Indicatively from €650 to €2,200 per person, all inclusive. Every quote is itemised, so you can see what is facilitation, what is venue and what is travel. ### How we measure impact, honestly We do not promise percentages or quote studies we cannot show you. Instead we agree with you what "better" means for this team and track it simply: a short pulse survey before and after the programme, a written decision log or list of commitments, and reviews after 30, 60 and 90 days to see what moved and what got stuck. You receive the results as they are. Want to know why so many offsites fail to change anything, and how to design one that does?

Small changes in demand ripple through the chain, and only coordination keeps costs down. - [Regatta as a decision lab](https://www.bravodays.com/en/experiences/regatta-decision-lab): Crews race small yachts with professional skippers, then debrief each leg: how they read the wind, divided roles and made split-second decisions. - [Fog-of-war orienteering: decisions with incomplete information](https://www.bravodays.com/en/experiences/fog-of-war-orienteering): An outdoor orienteering game where each team member holds only part of the map, and the route has to be decided again at every checkpoint. ## Questions ### Is this team building or training? A bit of both. The formats are active and social like team building, but each one is designed around a business outcome and ends with a debrief and agreed next steps, like a good workshop. ### Who facilitates the programmes? Experienced business facilitators from our partner network, supported by game masters for simulations and certified instructors for outdoor formats. We match the facilitator to your industry, language and group. ### In which languages can you run them? Most programmes run in English or Turkish, and many in Arabic. Other languages are possible with notice; tell us about your group when you ask for a quote. ### Can we combine a programme with a classic team experience? Yes, and many clients do. A typical offsite combines working sessions and a simulation with a relaxed dinner, a boat trip or a cultural experience. ### How do you show that the programme worked? With simple, honest measures agreed in advance: a pre and post pulse survey, the written decisions or commitments, and reviews after 30, 60 and 90 days. We do not promise percentages we cannot evidence. ## Related pages - [Get a quote](https://www.bravodays.com/en/get-a-quote)
