Corporate Retreats

Looking for something different for your company's corporate retreat? Consider a customized NERO® event to get your team motivated and re-energized. NERO Massachusetts and M.G.C.D. Consulting can provide you and your company with a variety of programs to suit your needs. Do you and your staff need a total escape? Nothing but fun? Perhaps your management staff needs to work on communications and self-evaluation. Maybe it's a department that needs a fun way to learn how to work as a more effective team.

The Great Escape - Just for Fun

Anywhere from 6 to 60 employees at a time can get together for an afternoon, an overnight, or a full weekend of high fantasy medieval adventure. Your staff will be taught the basics of the NERO rules structure and will be trained in the use of our foam boffer weapons, as well as several other key skills. They will create characters of their choosing, and will interact with our staff of professional role-players in a ducal society during which time they can battle the evil minions of darkness, save the town and even the Duke himself, finding adventure around every corner.

Management Retreats -
A New Way of Looking at Daily Management Tasks

Groups of 6 to 35 employees will break up into teams to work towards specific goals in a fantasy medieval setting. Groups will observe how other teams achieve or fail to meet goals in their struggles to save the hapless townsfolk or defeat the evil magician who has captured their lands. Successful results will be achieved through teamwork, planning, communication, and innovation. Interspersed between fantasy modules will be real world analysis and workshopping to discuss tactics, communication, and team building skills. Managers will be asked to assess their own strengths and weaknesses, and to role-play characters that are both similar and dissimilar to themselves, thereby gaining insights into new management techniques.

Team Builders -
Great for Departments and Cross-Departmental Groups

From 6 to 50 employees are trained in the basics of the NERO rules system, and are presented with several goals to be achieved within the context of our fantasy medieval settings. Prior to moving into each challenge scenario, your staff will be assisted in the creation of characters that they feel will best suit the challenges ahead of them. They will then work to resolve the adventure problem as best they can. After the adventure is complete, the group will analyze their effectiveness both as individuals and as a team, and will discuss means to enhance strengths within their teams. Your employees will be guided to analyze parallels in processes used on existing corporate projects, and new team-based approaches will be discussed.
