The Big Picture
What were the main objectives for this offsite?
Radicle were bringing together 18 members of their community from around the world, including U.K, U.S, and Switzerland. They wanted support to design a 3 day offsite programme, focused around cohesion among contributors, deeper shared knowledge of the Radicle.XYZ project history and innovation, and a celebration of all the community had achieved so far. Crucially, any offsite design needed to reflect the unique culture to Radicle, which is non-corporate bullshit, decentralised and has its own language and approach.
How did WorkTripp help?
WorkTripp listened carefully to understand Radicle's culture and to then reflect this back when recommending specialist MCs and hosts from the open-source world, as well as when designing and spacing the programme. On a practical level, WorkTripp were able to pick up and consolidate live conversations that we had already started with multiple suppliers. Organising on Tenerife is a different experience to other parts of Europe, so having a trusted partner who could do this was crucial and meant that we could adapt to some last minute changes. This also helped in terms of us paying one supplier - WorkTripp - vs. five or six suppliers each with their own invoicing approach. WorkTripp provided us an offsite programme design which we could edit and play with, which was hugely valuable to get us to our final destination.

What did you decide for your offsite in the end?
We stayed at the beautiful and wild Finca Chiratal. The owners Christophe and Anastasjia, are hugely passionate about working environment (Anastasjia is an architect), as well as the importance of wholesome food and being connected to a sense of place (check out Symbiosis living). As such, Finca Chiratal gave us a brilliant, light and imaginative space to play with as our base on the island. We balanced each day with shared experiences (yoga, boat trips, kayaking, star gazing), as well as working sessions and workshops. Importantly, there was also downtime for people to decompress or naturally pick up conversations and work together without this being a structured activity.
How successful was your offsite? Did you meet your objectives? What were any aha! moments you had as a team or personally?
The feedback from the team was excellent. Our top-level objectives were all met and new community members got to meet each other for the first time. After the offsite there was a deeper understanding of the Radicle mission and what is coming up, and the community got to experience some really unique, shared experiences together. Going forward, we are excited to support more regional offsites and we have our WorkTripp accounts set up to start looking around Switzerland and Berlin TBC!
Thanks so much Sally and Becca.
No problem. Thank you!
