If you want the reasoning behind the numbers (what you're actually paying for when you pay a facilitator, which budget lines get overlooked, and how much an offsite day costs in person-hours), I detailed it in Cât costă un workshop de team building sau de improvizație în România (blog post, in Romanian).
Why a session plan, not one team building a year
Most teams get one team building a year. And its effect evaporates in 2-3 weeks. A plan of 2-hour sessions, used any time throughout the year, exactly when a team needs an intervention, actually costs less per session and lands exactly where it hurts, not on the budget calendar. I detail the argument, with the science behind it, in Teambuildingul ține cât ține. Cultura se construiește mai des. (blog post, in Romanian).
What influences the price
- Number of participants: the reference group is 12 people; for larger groups, two or more sessions can be combined.
- Online or offline: same price, the facilitation and design work is the same.
- Facilitation language (Romanian or English).
- Degree of customization to the team's or organization's goal.
- Travel outside Bucharest.
What's included
- A discovery call before the session, to set the goal.
- Session design, adapted to the goal agreed together.
- The facilitation itself, by Bogdan Grigore.
- A debrief that ties the exercises to the team's real situations.
- Professional photos from the session, used as memory anchors for participants, and, if you want, in the company's internal or external communication.
The plan is purchased at company level, not team level: sessions can be allocated to any team in the organization that needs an intervention at a given moment, and can also be used as a follow-up after a classic team building.
What's not included
- The room: the space where the session takes place, if offline.
- Catering for participants.
- Transport and accommodation, for sessions outside Bucharest.
