Meetings and Events
There are a number of ways we can help prevent meeting and event woes like podium dependence, slide overkill, and general ennui. Take a look below to see how we took the boring out of our clients’ events.
Major League Baseball
Setting the Stage: Every year, Major League Baseball and the MLB Player's Association conduct a Rookie Development Program to help young players manage the unique challenges of assimilating into the Bigs. The program prepares players for situations they'll encounter on and off the field. Over 3 days they focus on general issues such as work-life balance and money management, as well as more specific challenges like cultural assimilation, media relations, fanatical fans, and the subtleties of hierarchy and tenure in the clubhouse. The challenge for SCC was to engage an audience of highly talented young men (who are more accustomed to multi-day road trips than multi-day conferences) in a dialogue around unique and sensitive topics, without sounding preachy or artificial.
Dow Chemical
Setting the Stage: Some of the biggest issues chemical companies face today are in the areas of Environment, Health and Safety (EH&S), and Ethics and Compliance. Being that Dow is in a growth phase with a well-defined strategy for transformation, they were looking to reinforce their code of conduct, prevention pyramid, cost allocation, and strategy with the 240 business executives in attendance at their 2011 Dow Global Leadership Meeting. Not only are these areas difficult to define, but they are also a challenge to communicate to employees in a fresh way that actually captures their attention.
Chicago Blackhawks
Setting the stage: Before opening the year’s NHL season, The Chicago Blackhawks got their players together to kick the new season off with some on your feet, interactive teambuilding and some shared laughs too.
