Inspiration and tips

How to succeed with your kickoff

A kickoff is more than just a start-up - it's an opportunity to bring the team together, set the direction forward and strengthen the community. Here are our top tips to make your kickoff inspiring, engaging and memorable.

1.Choose an environment that enhances the experience

The setting sets the tone for the whole day. A kickoff at a castle, a manor house or by the water creates distance from everyday life and opens up new perspectives. Our environments in Sörmland inspire both focus and community.

2.Start with a clear purpose

What do you want to achieve? Celebrate, shape the future or strengthen the team? A clear goal makes it easier to design a program that engages and includes everyone.

3. Create a well thought-out whole

A clear structure provides security, but also leaves room for rest, conversation and spontaneous elements. Regular breaks and a balance between benefit and recovery create the right energy. Well-prepared food adds an extra dimension to the kick-off and creates a sense of care and quality

4. Mix content with activity and interaction

Combine inspiring sessions with team building, workshops or creative exercises. When participants are active and involved, both commitment and community grow.

5. Let the experience live on

End the day with reflection. What will you take away? A collective summary - and maybe some pictures - will help to preserve the feeling long after you have left the kick-off behind.
