Incentive and team building in Tuscany: CBRE's summer event

The Client's Request

A close-knit team looking to spend time together

CBRE approached us to organise its summer incentive, an annual event designed to bring the team together and have some fun. The group is already tight-knit, and the company had run a similar incentive the previous October.

Team Building Milano's Proposal

CBRE's Tuscan dream

We put forward several properties in Tuscany, and the client chose a stunning resort with all the spaces and services they were after. Since it was a seaside property, the team building took the form of a cardboard boat challenge in the resort's swimming pool, with teams racing boats they had built themselves out of cardboard. For a taste of the local area, the programme also included a tasting at a renowned local winery, which turned out to be the client's favourite part of the event. We knew the event was a hit when, back in the cars, participants began firing water pistols at one another from car to car. It was a scene that summed up how close the group is, and proof that the day had let them leave the daily routine behind and simply enjoy themselves.

Achieved Results

A fantastic time for the team and stronger bonds all round

The client's goals were fully met: the group had fun and came away closer, whether during the team building, the winery visit or the free time in between. The incentive struck a balance between friendly competition, local culture and relaxation.
