Kickoff

Kickoff – inspiration after the summer

Many companies start the fall by gathering all colleagues for a peppy and inspiring kickoff. A well-planned kickoff can kickstart the fall with energy and great collaboration! As an organizer, your job is to make sure everything runs smoothly – and we know how important technology is to create that magical atmosphere. We share some advice based on our long experience. Make your kickoff an unforgettable experience!

Understand the purpose of the kick-off

Before you start planning, it is important to have a clear objective for the kick-off. Is it to reward the team, build stronger relationships or launch a new strategy? The purpose will influence everything from the entertainment and timing to the choice of technology. Make sure everyone involved is on board with what you want to achieve.

A kickoff is usually shorter than a conference or similar. The focus is on the employees and on getting the team together for the fall, making sure that everyone works towards the same goal and gets a reason to do that little extra during the fall.

Kickoff – technology to a common approach

Daytime activity – sound, light and vision

Sometimes the day includes a conference or something that focuses on information, but more often it is some kind of activity that focuses on collaboration. Whatever your focus, sound, light and image are often involved in some way. Centas has the technology to ensure that everyone on site can absorb information in the best possible way.

A different activity that we at Centas can recommend is Drumbeat. It is an activity that both focuses on and improves collaboration, while stimulating creativity and strengthening communication skills. In a short time, the goal is to transform colleagues into a rhythmic and drumming ensemble.

Dinner in the evening – lighting in focus

A kickoff often ends with a joint dinner so that employees have a chance to talk to each other. Of course, setting the mood with the right kind of lighting is important during such a dinner. Lighting can transform a dull room into something magical and beautiful.

Another element that helps to set the mood you are looking for is the background music. Choose your music carefully and make sure it is played in a sound system that is adapted to the venue and the number of participants. Background music should be heard and enhance the dinner, without making it difficult for guests to talk to each other.

If you as a company want to go big, it may contain some kind of entertainment and then of course the sound is an even more important part.

After dinner – boost energy with the right sounds

When dinner is over, the kickoff may be over, or it may be time to dance, and we make sure the mood is set with the right sounds and lights. It’s crucial to go from a dinner atmosphere to energizing guests to get up on a dance floor. Whether you choose a DJ or a live band, we have the technology to change the focus and get the energy flowing.
