Have you heard about a corporate office that transforms workers into creative machines? Yeah, that sounds pretty far-fetched. Office life tends to do the opposite – kill creativity and override inspiration with routine and mundanity (not to mention the all-enticing procrastination).
But everyone needs to be creative from time to time. Creativity lets us respond better to problems and come up with better solutions.
Take your team away to Lisbon for a few days and combine all the great things – fresh air, new environment of a beautiful city, sightseeing and team building activities tailored specifically to trigger new ideas and uncover hidden creativity in your team.
Lisbon’s colorful streets are packed with inspiration and a little systematic approach will allow you to enjoy it to the fullest while increasing your team’s motivation and productivity.
