Retreats for Leaders

Drawing from our vast library of tools, exercises, simulations, learning resources, instructional materials, and self and team assessments, CMOE is able to design and deliver retreats and meetings that address the unique, and often complex, needs of leadership teams. Our expert consultants help leadership teams break down barriers and get out of their comfort zone as they explore key issues and areas for change. The combination of focused facilitation and CMOE’s proven processes enables leadership teams to build new levels of cohesiveness, communication, trust, and growth.

Leadership-development retreats can be held at an off-site location of the client’s choosing, or CMOE can recommend locations worldwide that add to the experience and enable teams to be highly focused on the issues under discussion. If leadership teams are unable to meet at an off-site location, CMOE can provide an experience that is close by to the business but feels like a world away.

1. Understand Client Strategy: CMOE seeks to understand the organization and the leadership team’s unique culture and philosophy, industry and marketplace, mission, strengths, and weaknesses.
2. Define Specific Goals: We work with the client to establish expectations, objectives, and desired outcomes.

1. Current State Analysis: Through research, interviews, focus groups, and assessments, CMOE can analyze the team to establish a baseline understanding of the development needs and issues.
2. Present Recommendations: CMOE provides feedback, recommendations, and suggestions to the organization or leadership team about how to structure the development process or retreat.
3. Review Recommendations: CMOE and the client collaborate on a recommended approach or design framework to ensure alignment with the needs of the leadership team.

1. Plan the Implementation: CMOE and the client will establish specific steps, timelines, and plans for a successful leadership team development process or retreat.
2. Implement: CMOE facilitators lead the retreat or alignment meeting and help the team identify plans and accountability measures to support the work done by the team following the meeting.
3. Sustain & Measure: CMOE provides ongoing support and resources to help the leadership team be successful or engage in an ongoing process that will bring out the best in the team.
