Why organize a kick-off at HUONE?
1. Inspiring space and rooms to set the atmosphere.
HUONE is an award-winning creative business meeting & event venue. We understand better than anyone that space influences our behaviour greatly, and you do not want to go for a dull, boring space. Choose instead, a creative, inspiring room from HUONE Kamppi or HUONE Jätkäsaari. You will find spaces suitable for small to midsize groups. There’s also a possibility to organise a hybrid or virtual event if you have members of the team joining. Do check out more about our rooms.
2. We take care of everything with a full-service package
HUONE is a full-service venue. We make organising meetings easy, and hassle-free. You can focus on your day 100%. HUONE’s meeting packages always include:
- Private room for your group, ready and set-up according to your wishes
- Your own Event Coordinator to assist you from the beginning
- Reception service for welcoming and guiding your guests
- Meeting amenities such as flip charts and post-its and Meeting A/V equipment
- On-site Event Host to make sure everything flows smoothly
- Free flow of organic coffee and tea in the lounge area
- Meeting catering of your choice (breakfast, lunch, snacks during the break and etc.)
3. We care about your goal
People don’t want to buy a quarter-inch drill. They want a quarter-inch hole!
Your goal is important for HUONE. We understand our customers don’t pay for just a ‘room.’ They have a goal to achieve during the time they spend in HUONE and expect a pleasant meeting experience overall. We care about your event goal and we know to ask. All are taken into account prior to the event so you can stay focused on the content.
4. Delicious servings to keep the energy levels high during the Kickoff
Breakfast, lunch and all other items for your kick-off will be served according to your schedule. Dinner or perhaps a glass of sparkling will make the day and treat your participants. We prepare every day fresh meals from our own kitchen.
5. Easy to combine a relaxed afterwork/evening agenda
After an intensive day, you might want to treat your attendees to something more relaxed. We offer delicious dinners and also have our own bar if you wish to stay to mingle and enjoy a glass of something.. We can also suggest programs to make your kick-off more memorable. How about a virtual magic show, cocktail school, wine tasting, or a murder mystery of games?
Example Agenda for a half-day Sales Kick-off
- Start with Lunch (30 mins): give the team an opportunity to connect and catch up!
- Introduction (10 mins): welcome, share the agenda and set the goals for the day.
- Icebreaker (5-10 mins): before diving in, set the mood and engage your participants. Check out ideas for the best icebreakers!
- Recap of the previous year/season(30mins): review the previous season/year. Use this time to show appreciation for your team’s hard work.
- Break (5-10mins)
- Deep dive – learning (45mins): Share up-to-date info regarding sales strategies, processes, marketing messages, etc. You can also use this time to deep dive into new products/services offered in the coming season.
- Break (10mins)
- Engaging (50 mins): focus on a few topics and get your team’s input. This part can be done in groups (e.g. by regions, by roles & tasks) and other focuses can include the below:
New product suggestions
Operational process review
Challenges
Ideas on using resources
Milestones - Break (10mins)
- Planning (40mins): Focus on converting the ideas discussed in the previous session to participants’ day-to day-tasks. And then to a larger purpose. Set clear KPIs for each task, and the person responsible.
- Wrap up (15mins): a very important part of the kick-off. If participants are in groups in breakout rooms, bring them back into the main room and thank everyone for one’s time, ideas and participation. Wrap up the day by asking the questions below:
Did we achieve the goal of today?
What are the next steps? Is everyone clear on who’s responsible for what, by when? - Casual afterwork (flexible): Infuse positive energy and motivate! Give your participants the opportunity to follow up on the conversations they had to cut short with others, network, and get to know each other better in a relaxed setting.
