Willem de Bruijn is Senior Director Marketing & Business Development bij ASC. Hij vertelt: "Na drie jaar wilden we alle vijfentachtig medewerkers weer bij elkaar krijgen om elkaar (beter) te leren kennen, mensen te informeren over onze strategie en samen aan onze cultuur en belangrijke projecten te werken."
Drie dagen samen in een kasteel in Frankrijk. Klinkt goed.
Nu de invulling nog...
Wat vond je van de begeleiding van de retreat?
"Absoluut van hoog niveau. Illustratief is het meedenken en meewerken dat Jeroen en Joline deden, toen we het programma volledig moesten omgooien tijdens het evenement, omdat er een COVID besmetting was geconstateerd."

Absoluut hoogtepunt: Shrimpy awards

"Thanks again genuinely for everything!"
Wendy Banta is Head of Supply Chain Assurance. "The Visual Connection team, Jeroen and Joline, gave their 150% effort to supporting our organization’s retreat, complete with preparation, visuals, hands-on activities and engaging delivery, all the way from beginning to end. It was a genuine pleasure to work with them, and our event was more successful as a result!"

Teambuilding is niet alleen nodig maar ook erg leuk
"Getting to know each other more personally outside working time"
Efraín Calderón is Programme Assurance Director
What crosses your mind first about how you have experienced it?
"Integration of a worldwide team in a common objective, specially with my team members. We know now the persons not only the colleagues."
On the people side, what is your most important take away?
That personalities is a key element to team work, getting to know each other more personally outside working time, strengthens the common sense of ASC mission."
On the content side, what is your harvest of the retreat?
"It was interesting to revisit our main team purpose in the organizations, we should formalize those outcomes in more structured functions. The culture cafe brought a lot of ideas about the culture, would be good to summarize all the ideas from the team. On strategy it was good to bring everybody to the same page but would be good to have it earlier an in a more interactive presentation."
De eerste dag stond in het teken van de teams. Elkaar leren kennen niet alleen professioneel maar ook persoonlijk. Wie ben je en waar staat het team voor zijn de vragen die centraal staan.
Wat speelt er op wereldwijd niveau en waar staat The ASC ten op zichtte van de doelstellingen. De nieuwste ontwikkelingen en strategische beslissingen worden gedeeld.
Dan is het tijd voor cultuur en gedrag. Tijdens het interactieve world cafe wordt er geïnventariseerd, geanalyseerd en geëvalueerd.
Clare Burton is Global Brand Director.
"It was an absolute pleasure working with Jeroen and Joline on site in France. With clear direction, a variety of approaches and sheer entertainment value, their style and quality of facilitation ensures that the entire team remains engaged and focused throughout the experience. And we all have fun!
Their pre-work and knowledge of the environment and its opportunities means that even when thrown a few curveballs, they were able to quickly react, adjust, keep calm, and carry on.
They are a great extension to our ASC team."
Sergey Sergeev is Data Scientist.
"Thank you for organizing Tour de Poisson, I really enjoyed it. The venue was well picked, it was very rustic, charming, and still functional, surrounded by greenery. The atmosphere was perfect for the retreat. The food and service were amazing. Meeting my ASC colleagues in person immensely improved our communication and gave me an invaluable confidence and feeling of belonging. The Shrimpies ceremony provided deserved recognition to those who contributed the most and worked hard all the time. The other group activities were super useful and helped us learn and appreciate what each team is doing and how can we be of help to each other."
Sun Brage is Head of Digital.
"I truly enjoyed the workshops offered by the Visual Connection. They were fun, energetic and engaging! I took away some great new skills in business drawing and visual team presentation. Jeroen and his team are true professionals. It was a real pleasure working with them. I would recommend the Visual Connection to anyone who wants to inject a visual angle to their learning and events through lively and interactive sessions."
