02. strategize
Strategy definition
We schedule and run your travel strategy workshop series, partnering with your organization’s leaders to define strategic objectives for your annual program, then translate those objectives into an annual suite of trips.
If you need urgent support or just want to focus on your next trip, we can always skip this step . That's part of our “everything you need, and nothing you don’t" approach to service.

03. Kick-off
Initial trip design
We hold a trip-specific, where we sketch out your trip vision: objectives we are trying to target, KPIs to measure success, total budget, attendee count, event must-haves, potential destinations, and more.
Once the consultation is complete, our team of experts get to work, using our deep supplier relationships and decades of firsthand knowledge of destinations across the globe to design up to three custom proposals.

site selection
You take your time to review the proposals and compile your feedback.
We can meet live to discuss the proposals in detail and hear any revisions you would like.

Contract negotiation
We activate our global network of partners and firsthand experience running 8-figure procurement programs to negotiate pricing, terms, and perks to ensure we have the best offers available.

Reflection & learnings
We reconcile the budget, run post-travel surveying, and review performance with your team using the metrics we defined up front, to celebrate wins and reflect on anything that we should change for future years.
We capture all of these lessons into a structured report each year, so that we can improve with every single program, and you can monitor the performance of your events over time to ensure ROI delivery.
