PRISMAtes, don't forget to fasten your bungee cords!

60 PRISMAtes, 2,5 days, and 3 shared goals: working together, trusting our teammates, and accepting our strengths and weaknesses. This Offsite in Meißen was like none other before: We had an array of enriching workshops, fruitful discussions about PRISMA's future and learnt a lot about ourselves and our colleagues.

As a hybrid company, we hold a special appreciation for events that bring us all together in person. The PRISMA Offsite was no exception, providing us with a delightful blend of fun in the beautiful city of Meissen. Learning more about each other and building beautiful connections. During this gathering, we were introduced to various methods that enriched our ability to discuss, brainstorm, listen, tap into our creativity, and practice mindfulness.                      This event was a welcoming change to our daily work and the perfect way to connect to other PRISMAtes on a different level - and that is exactly what we did.

For instance, we were introduced to the Fishbowl method - It can be used to discuss even complex and theoretical topics on which there are many questions or opinions in a short time. During our discussions, we gained fascinating insights into the future development of PRISMA. We delved into essential questions regarding the pace and extent of our company's growth, the prospects for new projects, and the areas where our focus should lie as an organization.

We also learned, what it means to find our Ikigai - a sense of purpose and how to visualise our goals and work towards them.

We gained insights into methods for creative thinking, gamification, and cybersecurity, among other things. We also learned a lot about Meißen during a city tour in the beautiful late summer weather and at Schloss Proschwitz, where Princess and Prince von Lippe provided us with an impressive tour and delightful wine tasting. This event was a welcoming change to our daily work and the perfect way to connect to other PRISMAtes on a different level - and that is exactly what we did.

Not only with workshops, but also with plenty of fun and games! We were assigned to different groups with colorful chocolate bars and had to tackle various challenges.

We sparked friendly competitions from balancing on tiny stools to Bungee running, to throwing frisbees and testing our general knowledge and the knowledge of PRISMAs history with a quiz, and let's not forget assembling LEGO cars where only one teammate was allowed to look at the instructions and explain what to do.

Let's get active!

The culmination of the event was an award ceremony where we cheered team black on, who took the first position, but the experience taught us much more than that.

We learned that successful teamwork requires everyone to work towards a common goal, to rely on one another, and to have fun throughout the process while having fun and tackling task that typically don't come up in our daily work.

These lessons are not only applicable to games but also to our daily work and how we appreciate our colleagues.
