“…beautifully orchestrated. It was pure magic.”

Ex-Director, Burberry

The brief

The chief HR officer wants the top 120 managers to leave the summit aligned on the year’s priorities and better equipped to lead through change in the industry. The head of leadership development needs everything in German, from the keynote to the facilitators’ materials, and a format that keeps 120 people active for two days.

The format and the experts

The summit moves from the whole room to small tables and back:

  • Opening keynote: an expert who has led sessions at Microsoft, on leading through transformation.
  • Strategy tables: facilitated tables of ten working through the year’s priorities.
  • Parallel ateliers: decision-making under uncertainty, presence in front of teams, and recovery for leaders carrying long weeks.
  • Bavarian evening: a dinner of regional cuisine with craft makers at work around the room.

The setting

A lakeside estate south of Munich with a plenary hall for 120, rooms for the ateliers and a long table for the Bavarian evening. Managers arrive from the company’s German sites in time for the opening keynote.

The outcome

One hundred and twenty managers leave with one shared agenda for the year, built at their own tables and delivered entirely in German. Each manager takes one practice from the ateliers back to their team.
