Jasmin Wölke moderates workshops and offsites in Wuppertal: strategy days, leadership rounds and team workshops, in German and English. She guides the group neutrally through the day, so that it ends with decisions instead of yet another collection of topics.
When three time horizons share one table
In Wuppertal companies, an offsite often brings different worlds together: the factory thinks in product lines that run for decades, direct sales in routes and quarters, IT in releases. In family businesses, shareholders add questions that span generations. When management moderates such a round itself, it debates and keeps the minutes of its own debate at the same time. With external moderation, management can be a participant: Jasmin holds the process, watches out for the quiet voices and does not let a buzzword pass as a decision. The group notices her own corporate years at Bosch, SAP and Volkswagen in her follow-up questions.
Rooms for offsites in and around Wuppertal
Many groups meet in their own meeting rooms, and often that is the mistake: too close to daily business, the daily business catches up with the offsite. Alternatives are close by, from the conference hotels in Elberfeld and at the Döppersberg to rooms in the Börse and side halls of the Historische Stadthalle for larger formats. More important than the address is the layout: walls for working results, space for small groups, technology that does not interfere. Jasmin clarifies this in advance and plans the day in work blocks with a clear task, whether as one full day or two half days.
What hangs on the wall at the end
Jasmin's measure of a successful workshop is visible: decisions on the wall, each with an owner, a date and a next step. Open points get a parking space with a path to clarification instead of sending the group around in circles. At the SAP Tech Leadership Forum, a corporate reference with leaders of a technology group, she worked exactly like this: interim results documented, a close in which every measure carries a name. The content stays with the team, the structure with her. What a good briefing contains is shown in the briefing checklist. More about the format is on the hub Workshop moderation, and all pages about the city are collected on the Wuppertal city page.
