Learn how to create a 2-3X Return On Investment for your business by delivering an outstanding Team Kickoff event!

Increase your business value whether you are launching a new project, building a new staff, or reinvigorating a team that is burnt out.   I’ve gathered and packaged the best of my Team Kick-off tips, tools and advice into this ActionPack™ product. You will have everything you need to plan, design, and execute a Team Kick-off. You will learn how to present the Team’s Core Work while beginning your Team Development effort.

You can get a 2-3X return by making your team effective! Look at this example:

Let's assume you'll bring 8 professionals together for your Team Kickoff. Eight meeting attendees at an average cost of $500 per person per day is $4,000 in time alone.  Now, let's assume that this team is involved in a project that will require an investment of $250,000.  In my experience, I've seen project investment savings ranging from 3% to 7% depending on the quality of the Team Kickoff process and meeting.  A 5% savings on a $250,000 project is $12,500 which equates to a 3X return on the meeting investment of $4,000!

The first step begins with a successful Team Kick-off! The larger the project investment, the more return you’ll receive from this work.


You can’t start earning the 2-3X return if your Team Kick-off doesn’t cut it.

You may be thinking, okay, that makes sense, but I am still worried about how I will be able to do it. Don’t worry. If you are asking yourself the questions below, this ActionPack will answer them for you in a clear, step by step approach including the Team Development content and templates that you will need to make this a huge success!

  1. Why bother with a team kick-off? Isn’t it easier for me just to manage the work centrally?
  2. What components of the Team Kick-off are most important to complete?
  3. How do I launch a virtual team?
  4. As a Team Leader, how should I interact with my team during the Kick-off to set the right tone and expectations?
  5. How do I kick-off my new staff in a new role?
  6. As a Business Analyst, how can I increase my participation in the planning and delivery of the Team Kick-off?
  7. What content do I need to get the most out of our time in this meeting?
