The over-riding objective of Home On The Range Adventure Tours
corporate retreat and facilitation team is to provide your enterprise and
its employees with a customized and exclusive experience that is designed
to meet your specific requirements.
By definition, generic, off-the-shelf employee development programs cannot achieve a truly differentiated positive impact on performance. For this reason we work closely with each client to provide customized and relevant solutions. We believe that although there will always be common elements within industries and business, your firm’s immediate needs are unique to you.
Our
competent, knowledgeable, and experienced facilitators, working together
with our internationally experienced program originators, designers and
deliverers will ensure that your company receives a uniquely designed corporate
retreat. We are committed to leveraging the knowledge, experience and skills
of each participant for the benefit of the entire group. A sampling of the
areas in which we have assisted clients with achieving dynamically innovative
solutions includes Corporate Strategy Development, Change Management Initiatives,
Multi-Cultural Effectiveness, Leadership Enhancement, Turn-Around Strategy,
Team Building, and Motivation.
We
have the network and personnel in place to identify a broad range of retreat
locations and to design a program that combines the best of people, place
and product. Working with our team of highly skilled academics and facilitators
can not only provide you with the tools and skills to meet your immediate
demand, but can also dramatically increase your opportunities to expand
your range of clients and scope of products, as well as increase your productivity
in delivering existing products and services.
We
begin our process with detailed planning for the upcoming session. This
first step involves client meetings where the issues to be addressed and
the desired outcomes of the session are clearly defined. In addition, this
is an opportunity for the client to identify who the primary session participants
will be, and the specific level of senior corporate involvement. The second
step in the planning stage is to draft a session itinerary for the client.
This provides a double check of the clarity of understanding and interpretation
of the process and objectives.
The Developer(s)/Facilitator(s) set to work on designing detailed session materials and activities. At the same time potential locations are identified. It is imperative that both the facilitator(s) and the surroundings make the participants feel at ease and at home in their environment so that we achieve the highest possible degree of input and participation.
The necessary support materials and the related activities are designed so that they provide a seamless and integrated flow. Each element of the agenda supports and nurtures the participants and their achieving the desired outcomes. In a final wrap-up discussion participants highlight and review their learnings and the session’s outcomes. Should the client desire, with their cooperation, we can also design and deliver a session evaluation.
Our competent, knowledgeable, and experienced facilitators, working together with our internationally experienced program originators, designers and deliverers will ensure that your company receives a uniquely designed corporate retreat.
