Barcelona offsite

A real Move Work Forward offsite in Barcelona - less luxury, more investment. The team wrote personal Readmes, set the year's goals, ran a premortem, and still made time for Gaudi and tapas.

What made this trip work

  • Personal Readmes built transparency the rest of the year runs on.
  • The premortem caught risks early instead of in hindsight.
  • Framing it as an investment, not a jolly, got finance on board.
  • Mixing deep work mornings with the city in the afternoons kept it human.

Julia organised this one. "Treat it as essential, not a perk, and the planning gets a lot easier."
