Inhouse facilitation · Hamburg & Europe-wide
A team workshop that delivers connection, clarity and alignment
A facilitated team workshop for people who have to work together and have never had the time to agree how: new teams, two organisations becoming one, leadership offsites and kick-offs. Half a day, a full day or a two-day offsite — in English or German, at your place or online.
- English & German
- On site or online
- Small teams to whole departments
How it runs
The job of the day
What a team workshop with us delivers
Three things, in this order. Each one makes the next one possible.
Connection
People get to know each other properly — what each person brings, from work or from life. The quiet colleagues are in the conversation as fully as the loud ones.
Clarity
One shared objective for the year, written in the words of the people who have to deliver it, so nobody leaves with a different picture in their head.
Alignment
The top priorities for the next months, with a number, a date and a named owner — and the first appointment booked before anyone leaves the room.
Situations
Three moments when a team day pays for itself
Most inquiries we get are one of these three. Each one needs a different afternoon.
A new team
People who were hired or moved into one team and have never worked out who is good at what, or how they want to decide things.
- Strengths and working styles made visible
- Ways of working agreed, not assumed
- First shared goal in their own words
Two teams becoming one
After a merger, a reorganisation or a takeover, when both sides are polite and both sides quietly keep their own playbook.
- Each side learns what the other brings
- One set of priorities instead of two
- Cross-company pairs with a first date in the diary
A team that has drifted
Everyone is busy, nobody is sure what the others are working on, and the same three topics come back to every meeting.
- What is actually on everyone’s plate, in the open
- The top five topics for the next quarter
- Measurable results instead of good intentions
What we can put in the day
Building blocks for your team workshop
We pick from these and build one agenda for your situation. Nothing here is a fixed module you have to take whole.
Getting to know each other
Priorities and goals
Collaboration and communication
Looking forward and back
How we work
Designed for your room, not off the shelf
Every workshop starts with a call: who is in the room, how well do they know each other, what has to be different on Monday. The agenda is then built around your real topics, so the group recognises its own situation from the first minute.
Roughly two thirds of the time, your people are the ones working. Input is short, the exercises are theirs, and every block ends with something written down that they can use.
Everything the group produces stays with you: the objectives, the key results, the owners and the dates, ready to be used in the next team meeting.

Your facilitator
Jörn Steinz (MBA)
Design Thinker, OKR Trainer & Presentation Coach
He helps teams turn complex, high-stakes discussions into clear priorities, decisions and commitments — with structure, sharp workshop design and facilitation that keeps a group focused on outcomes. Before founding SkillDay he spent more than ten years at Accenture, XING and the freenet Group.
SkillDay is a network of around six trainers and facilitators, so a second facilitator for a large group is a phone call, not a problem.
Where we work
Hamburg, and wherever your team is
They took the principles they already use for presentations — know your audience, lead with the point, structure the argument — and applied them to how they talk to each other day to day.
A team day for specialists who work alone most of the year, built around what each person brings to the others.
A day to look back honestly, cut the topic list down to five, and turn those into measurable results with named owners.
Good to know
Questions we get before booking
Three to four hours is enough to get to know each other and agree a direction. A full day adds priorities, measures and ownership. Two days make sense when the team also has to work through content.
From a single team to a whole department. For larger groups a second facilitator joins, so every small group keeps moving at the same pace.
English or German, and mixed groups are normal. Slides and materials follow the language of the room.
It depends on length, group size and how much preparation your topics need. Tell us the date and the number of people and you get a fixed quote, all inclusive, within a day.
One call of about 45 minutes, a rough idea of the participants and any priorities already on the table. Anonymised material is entirely sufficient.
When it fits the group, yes. Building a model puts the quiet people in the conversation as fully as the loud ones, and what gets built becomes working material for the rest of the day.
