Client: Coop
Job: Concept, planning, staging

 

Coop’s 2016 Management Conference, following the motto “We take the initiative”, invited some 3000 executives from the entire Coop group to an “Expedition to Initiative Island”.  

 

Following CEO Joos Sutter’s kick-off address and an inspiring speech by futurologist Gerd Leonhard, the time had arrived for a major test asking the question: Do Coop executives really take the initiative? A staged incident gave each guest/participant the chance to prove it, getting up and demonstrating their individual drive and skills.  

 

All of the tasks were completed brilliantly and with great enthusiasm – all the way to the preparation and serving of lunch!

In the afternoon, the guests/participants embarked on expeditions to five destinations, each with its own research assignment, and had to record their research results in a log book.
