Workshops in a city of headquarters

Munich is a city of head offices: BMW, Siemens, Allianz and Munich Re are based here, alongside consultancies, machine builders, tech companies and media houses. Workshops in this environment follow their own physics. The room often holds several layers of hierarchy, from project team to division management, and whatever is decided still has to pass through committees afterwards. A facilitator who ignores that produces flipcharts for the bin. Jasmin therefore clarifies in advance who in the room actually decides, what the offsite is allowed to conclude and what it can only prepare. During the workshop she makes sure rank does not smother the discussion: silent working phases before open rounds, so the analysis does not stop the moment the most senior person takes a position.

Corporate experience instead of a method kit

At Robert Bosch, Jasmin was responsible as a director for strategy and workshop formats across markets in Europe and the Middle East, leading a team of 100 people. She has sat on both sides of the flipchart and knows where corporate workshops fail: unclear mandates, overloaded agendas, decisions without owners. That experience comes from her corporate career, not from Munich client dates, but it shapes how she works: few sharp questions, visible interim results, and at the end a list of decisions, owners and open points. International teams are routine for her; she facilitates and documents in both languages.

Choosing place and date wisely

A workshop does not need a congress hall. It needs a room with daylight, walls to work on and quiet. Munich offers plenty, from conference hotels to venues like the MOC or the Munich Technology Center, and many teams deliberately move out to the surrounding countryside. When picking a date, check the city calendar: trade fair weeks and the Oktoberfest from mid September to early October fill hotels and push up prices. Jasmin travels from Ludwigsburg by train in around two hours fifteen minutes, arriving the evening before for early starts.

From goal to result list

Before the session, Jasmin clarifies goal, participants, lines of conflict and the decision mandate. From that she plans the day backwards from the outcome. More about the city is on the Munich city page, the format is explained on workshop facilitation, and the briefing checklist structures the preparation.

Frequently asked questions

Our board members will join the workshop. Does that help or paralyse the room?
Both can happen; the facilitation makes the difference. Jasmin agrees a clear role with leadership beforehand: listen, set the frame, decide at the end. The team gets space to think, and leadership gets an honest picture instead of anticipatory agreement.
Our team works in English, our leadership round in German. Which language should the workshop use?
The language in which the results will live on. Jasmin facilitates switching between both, records interim results in the team's working language and summarises for the German speaking round. Nobody has to argue in their weaker language.
How many people fit into a strategy workshop?
Eight to fifteen keep a room workable. Above that, Jasmin splits into subgroups with clear assignments and brings the threads together in plenary phases. From around thirty people it is no longer a workshop but a conference with working sessions.
Can the workshop be part of a larger conference, for example at the ICM?
Yes. Many Munich formats combine a conference part with working phases. Jasmin aligns the flow and handovers with the show callers so that the working results find their way back to the main stage at the end.
What happens to the results after the workshop?
Jasmin hands over a structured result list with decisions, owners and open points, photographs the working walls and walks the group through everything at the close. The follow-up stays with the team, but it starts from a solid base.
