A team seminar that actually delivers
Vision, cohesion, organization, AI: we design and facilitate your seminar with serious games and workshops that make people think, decide, and leave with a plan. Not a day of slides.
The problem
Most team seminars change nothing
Lots of slides, few decisions
People listen, applaud and go home. The following Monday, nothing has changed.
Team building with no link to the work
A good day out, but the team’s real tensions were never addressed.
Always the same people speaking
The most confident take up all the space while the others stay quiet. The best ideas stay in people’s heads.

Themes
What we work on together
Cohesion and trust
Get your team back on its feet after a reorganization, a merger or a difficult year, with games that get people talking about what matters.
Vision and priorities
Share the direction, choose 3 priorities instead of 15, and turn them into goals that everyone understands (OKR).
Organization and roles
Clarify who decides what, reduce friction between teams, and put an end to meetings that go in circles.
AI in the team
Understand what AI changes for your business, and leave with a first use case tested together.
Review and continuous improvement
A big retrospective of the year: what worked, what we stop, what we try.
Innovation
A mini Design Sprint to go from a problem to a tested idea, in one day.
Our method
Before, during, after
Before: understand
A conversation with the executive to set the objective, a few interviews with participants, then a program designed for your team.
During: bring it to life
Serious games, small-group workshops, decision time. Everyone participates, including those who rarely speak up.
After: make it stick
A summary within 48 hours: decisions, action plan, commitments. Plus a follow-up check-in for longer seminars.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
How many participants?
From a small team of 6 people to several dozen. Above 15 participants, we bring two facilitators so that everyone genuinely takes part.
Where does the seminar take place?
At your site, or at a venue of your choice, anywhere in France and French-speaking Europe. Travel costs are listed in the quote.
How far in advance should you plan?
Ideally 4 to 6 weeks before the date. That gives us time for scoping, a few interviews and designing the program. If it is urgent, call us anyway.
What happens afterward?
You receive a summary within 48 hours: the decisions, the action plan and each person’s commitments. For the 2-day format, a check-in at 30 days confirms that the plan is moving forward.
Can you combine a seminar with training?
Yes. A seminar can include a training module (management, agility, AI) or serve as the kickoff for a longer coaching engagement.
Why serious games?
Because a good game lets people experience a situation in a few minutes and makes the discussion concrete. We do not play for the sake of playing: each game serves an objective of the seminar and ends with a debrief.
