What your kick-off event really achieves

  • Strengthen team spirit – shared experiences at the start build trust and set the right impulses.

  • Improve communication – a successful kick-off opens doors and breaks down barriers.

  • Integrate new members – trainees and new colleagues find their footing faster at kick-off events.

  • Anchor goals – kick-offs shape expectations and create a shared understanding of project objectives.

How companies benefit from a kick-off event

Kick-offs as motivation boosters

So-called intrinsic motivation is a very special type of motivation: it is not based on external factors but arises naturally from within a person. Compared to external motivation, intrinsically motivated employees find their drive in wanting to do or learn something on their own. The intrinsic motivation of employees is therefore particularly valuable for the company.

Starting signal for new projects

To improve relationships among staff, regular kick-off events are a great option alongside recurring events like the annual summer party. These serve not only as a launch for new projects and project phases but also give employees the opportunity to get to know each other better.

During a team day, a department or company outing, colleagues can actively work on team spirit, strengthen the collegial sense of belonging and sustainably reduce communication problems. When goals are set in a playful context, the skills for achieving real goals are built at the same time.

Many occasions are suitable for kick-off events

At the start of the year, a kick-off event serves as an opening event that gets employees in the mood for the new business year, upcoming tasks and new projects. If a new project is about to begin during the current business year, a kick-off event is also an ideal opportunity to bring the team together.

Everything you need to know

A kick-off event deliberately marks a starting point – be it a new project, a business year or a new team. It has a clear content framework and combines goal communication with team elements. A classic team event can also take place without a specific occasion and focuses more on the pure experience.

Our concepts are designed for groups from 10 to over 1,000 participants. For particularly large kick-offs, we recommend parallel group formats like The Big Chain Theory or GPS Stadtentdecker – so everyone is active at the same time.

Absolutely – that’s actually the most common format. Many teams start the day with a strategy or planning block and move into the team event in the afternoon. We’ll be happy to advise you on how to meaningfully combine both elements.

Yes, particularly well! A kick-off event significantly eases the start for new team members. Instead of stiff get-to-know-you rounds, genuine connections form naturally through shared experiences. We can specifically tailor the concept to onboarding goals.

Ideally three to four weeks in advance – this gives us enough time to tailor the concept to your occasion and team structure. Short-notice bookings are possible by arrangement.
