Just got back from a successful and fun planning workshop with the IT folks. Never imagined the team being about 30-plus-strong now considering they were less than half of that during the same period last year.
The beach wasn't what I had in mind but it was okay. Nothing fancy or anything. Highlights involved island-walking - yes, the sea was only about waist-deep so you can walk your way to the nearest islands about 20 minutes away. During low tide, there ain't much water left. The seabed rises forming land bridges across the islands.
I was expecting to see a throng of laptops being lugged around but only one person had to work offsite to attend to an urgent issue. The rest had their thinkpads tucked away, if they even brought them. I never picked up mine so it was a waste of space altogether.
It fun having everyone in IT forget about work and its accompanying concerns and issues even for just a weekend. We're back to our normal lives come Monday and it's business as usual once again.

You guys were lucky to have your strat planning at Oakwood and the IT guys at Batangas. We had ours at a resto somewhere in QC because we're working on a tight budget. Sigh...
