Inspiration and tips

How to succeed with your kickoff

A kickoff is more than just a launch – it’s an opportunity to bring the team together, set the direction forward, and strengthen the community. Here are our top tips for making your kickoff inspiring, engaging, and memorable.

1. Choose an environment that enhances the experience

The surroundings set the tone for the whole day. A kickoff at a castle, a manor or by the water creates distance from everyday life and opens up new perspectives. Our environments in Sörmland inspire both focus and community.

2.Start with a clear purpose

What do you want to achieve? Celebrate, shape the future or strengthen the team? A clear goal makes it easier to shape a program that engages and includes everyone.

3. Create a well-thought-out whole

A clear structure provides security, but also leaves room for rest, conversation and spontaneous elements. Regular breaks and a balance between benefit and recovery create the right energy. Well-prepared food adds an extra dimension to the kickoff and creates a feeling of care and quality.

4. Mix content with activity and interaction

Combine inspiring sessions with team building, workshops or creative exercises. When participants are allowed to be active and involved, both engagement and community grow.

5. Let the experience live on

End the day with reflection. What will you take away? A joint summary – and perhaps some pictures – will help preserve the feeling long after you leave the kickoff behind.
