What a facilitated kick-off can include

An opening that sets the tone

Improvisation, storytelling or a short rhythm session gets people talking and listening within minutes, so the strategy content lands in an engaged room.

Facilitated working sessions

An experienced facilitator turns priorities into conversation and commitments, with structures that keep a large group fully involved.

A hands-on afternoon

A craft, culinary or creative session gives the day a change of pace and a shared experience colleagues remember.

Moments to reset

Breathwork, yoga or a walk by the fjord between sessions keeps energy steady across a long day.

An evening with a shared ritual

A dinner with a hosted tasting or a creative moment closes the day warmly and carries the momentum forward.

Examples

Example workshops and experiences

Experiences that open, pace and close a kick-off, chosen around your agenda and your people.

Improvisation and playful communication

Structured, good-humoured exercises that help people listen, respond and speak up with confidence.

Yoga, breathwork and restorative sessions

Grounding movement and breath that steady energy before a demanding quarter or after a long week.

Drawing and painting studio

A guided studio session where the whole team creates one collaborative piece. No experience needed.

Outdoor sessions in the friluftsliv spirit

Walking conversations, forest mindfulness or a fjord-side reset that make the most of the landscape around Oslo.

FAQ

Common questions

What should a company kick-off include?

A clear purpose, a strong opening, the strategy content, facilitated working sessions, a change of pace such as a hosted experience, and a close with agreed priorities. An evening dinner often follows.

What is the difference between a kick-off and a planleggingsdag?

A kick-off usually launches the year or season for the whole company, while a planleggingsdag focuses a team or department on planning and priorities. Both benefit from good facilitation and a moment of shared experience.

How long should a kick-off be?

Most run for one full day, often followed by dinner. Larger or leadership kick-offs can extend to two days with an offsite element.

When should we start planning?

January and late-summer kick-offs fill early, so planning two to three months ahead gives you the widest choice of facilitators, venues and experiences.

Can an external facilitator lead only part of the day?

Yes. A facilitator can lead the opening, the working sessions or a single module while your leaders present the strategy.

Can the day run in our own office?

Yes. Many formats run well in your office, a hotel or a conference venue, and a change of setting often helps people think differently.

Does it work for large groups?

Yes. Plenary moments, table structures and parallel facilitators keep a large company involved throughout the day.

What should our brief include?

Your objectives, audience, group size, dates, venue ideas and what you want people to carry back to work. Culture Vitale shapes the day with you, or you can explore our experts and sessions and choose for yourself.
