teamevent
A good teamevent theme should resonate with the company’s goals and values, as well as its current market conditions and challenges. It should also help reinforce a specific leadership message and drive home a key learning point.
For example, Groupon turned a golf popup into a whimsical, immersive experience that featured PGA pros, including Graeme McDowell, interacting with attendees. The event theme was centered on the idea of ‘Wildly Awesome’ to promote the concept that anything is possible with hard work and the right attitude.
Another great theme is ‘Beyond Limits’, which can be used to celebrate the idea that there are no limits to what your team can accomplish. This is an especially effective theme if it’s combined with a high-impact, out-of-the-ordinary activity that gives participants a taste of what’s possible if they take a chance and push beyond their comfort zones. Choosing a fun and creative event theme is only part of the process, however. You need to ensure that it can be implemented effectively and is feasible for the size of the audience and your budget. To do this, consider the following questions before finalizing your Teamevent theme:
is there a specific theme or focus for the teamevent
Whether you’re hosting an event for your whole sales team or targeting a specific group of top performers, the theme you choose should align with the company’s goals and values. It should also resonate with the current market conditions and challenges your sales team is facing. For example, if your industry is being disrupted by new technology or other factors, the theme could be around ‘Future Ready’ and incorporate an innovative experience like the Pixel Challenge that encourages teams to reimagine their business.
Other popular themes include ‘The Power of ONE’ and ‘Team Olympics’. These are a perfect fit when your messaging is focused on building unity and driving momentum, especially during times of organizational change. You can even go a step further and customize the theme by creating an acronym for ‘ONE’ (For example, Ownership, New ideas, Execution) to further reinforce your message.
A talent show can showcase your employees’ creative and unique skills. It’s also a great way to break down silos by encouraging team members to bond over their talents and create new connections. Themes range from tuneful duets to energetic aerobics, and can be done in person or virtual. Attending a live performance can provide a fun change of pace and give your team an opportunity to discuss the show over dinner afterwards. Some theaters and concert venues offer discounted group and corporate rates, making it an affordable option for a variety of different types of events.
A virtual teamevent can be a fun and innovative way to bring your team together, particularly when your organization is spread out geographically. Using a social networking platform like Slack allows you to digitally connect your team members in real time, regardless of their location. This type of event requires advance planning and ensuring that your teammates have the right hardware and software required to participate, as well as providing plenty of information about the event so that everyone can prepare accordingly.
