Accelerating Leadership Unity
Creating meaningful connections for senior leaders in a new division at a global leader in the music industry, with only two weeks’ notice
The Challenge
Faced with the challenge of organising an urgent offsite for a newly-formed division, an international player in the entertainment industry was looking for a customised approach and a partner who could deliver on time and on target.
A visionary leader and the leadership team were coming together for the first time to build stronger connections and rally around a new mission. With less than a month to plan, they recognised the need for expert facilitation, an engaging agenda, and activities that delivered real impact.
No Small Task
This team were tasked with transforming the company’s go-to-market approach, having never worked together before.
The Future Waits for No One
Working together to shape the industry and drive the future, there was little time to pull together as a team and deliver.
Pulling in Different Directions
With diverse teams now brought together under one single leader, a unified mission and vision were crucial to alignment.

How we helped
After meeting with the President to understand her vision for the offsite, we presented a detailed project plan to key stakeholders, showing exactly how we were going to pull this off.
Stakeholder Collaboration
From there, we partnered with the Chief of Staff to help stakeholders refine their individual breakout sessions, ensuring a cohesive approach throughout the event.
Tailored Energisers
We designed customised energisers, seamlessly woven into the agenda, to maintain high energy and engagement during the two-day event.
Real-Time Adjustments
Daily standups with the Chief of Staff and other key stakeholders kept everyone on track and allowed us to adjust rapidly when things didn’t go according to plan.

You guys were so easy to work with. I was impressed with your flexibility and ability to pivot. There were a lot of twists and turns to bring this all together, but you guys handled all of it with grace and class.
We couldn’t have done this without you. I’m looking forward to introducing you to some of the other division heads.
