Hybrid offsite with co-creation
and culture code design
  • Client:
    Distributed team of global luxury brand
    Location:
    Rome, Italy
  • Context:
    Company faced friction between its French and Italian teams after global expansion. Despite high individual performance, cultural divides and legacy dynamics blocked collaboration. The teams needed a shared culture - not just structure.
  • Goals:
    • Bridge national and professional culture gaps
    • Create shared rituals and team identity
    • Rebuild trust and a sense of belonging
  • Format:
    A multi-day hybrid offsite combining facilitated sessions, creative collaboration, and sensory-based team bonding.
    • Cross-cultural cooking session (Italian + French traditions)
    • Naming and identity ritual - teams created a shared name and visual symbol
    • Interactive workshops: agile planning, storytelling, photo mapping
    • Collaborative Team Code: communication principles and rituals that honored both cultures
  • Outcome:
    • Friction turned into connection: stronger empathy, active collaboration
    • The shared identity lived on in meetings, onboarding, and retrospectives
    • Psychological safety improved, cross-team respect increased
    • The team felt like one - not two sides negotiating
How we design your offsite
We listen first
We dive into your context - business stage, team dynamics, pain points and what success looks like. Think of it as a strategic diagnosis.
We choose the right tools
From facilitation formats to altered states, we build a toolkit that matches your goals - no generic templates, just what really works.
We design the container
We combine space, rhythm, and logistics into one coherent experience: from mountains to coastlines, silence to celebration - all shaped around your team’s needs and energy.
We run it together
And then we bring it to life - holding the process so you can show up, fully present.
