An executive offsite on Lake Zurich

The brief

The CEO wants two days away from the bank where the executive committee can disagree openly, decide, and leave as one team. The executive office needs complete discretion, a setting close to Zurich, and a programme with the calibre the committee expects.

The format and the experts

The two days alternate deep work and release:

• Day one, morning: strategy facilitation by a senior facilitator who has led executive teams in finance.
• Day one, afternoon: an Olympic coach on high performance under pressure, and what elite teams do the night before they compete.
• The evening: dinner with a sommelier who tells the story of each wine, from Swiss vineyards and beyond.
• Day two: an alpine morning of breath and movement, then the final strategy session and commitments.

The setting

A private lakeside house on Lake Zurich, under an hour from the city, with a room for twelve, a terrace and the mountains across the water. Everything is arranged for the committee’s privacy, from arrival to the last coffee.

The outcome

The committee leaves Lake Zurich with its strategy decided, an owner for every decision and a shared understanding of how it performs under pressure. With a senior facilitator holding the room, the CEO argues the strategy as one of twelve.
