Bullaburra Management Retreat

As Ashleigh Brilliant observed: “Sometimes you have to go somewhere else to find out where you are!”

Bullaburra Management Retreat offers both the ideal location and ideal opportunity for your Executive Team to review and develop its strategic agenda, effectiveness and team dynamics. The farm based, architecturally designed facility has its own ocean frontage and offers an oasis like venue that provides an interruption free location less than two hours drive from Sydney CBD.

There are three pre requisites for the success of your investment in a Management Retreat.

First, time out is essential for success. Whilst performance and renewal are constant accountabilities of senior leaders, the pressures of day to day management can intrude on the thinking time and the need for quality conversations about organizational performance and renewal. A two or three day Management Retreat at an inspiring venue offers the chance to think differently, critically, creatively and more objectively.

Second, the venue and its context are important. They need to be conducive to the task and yet provide facilities for recreation and the informal interaction that bring a team together. Bullaburra Management Retreat offers a superb physical facility supported by staff who are dedicated to the success of your event. Adjacent to the farm property are a 18 hole golf course and several quality vineyards. The farmhouse sits atop a rise that looks down on Seven Mile Beach, an ideal place to walk and talk with your colleagues. These outstanding facilities are matched by farm cooking of the highest standard and a range of great and rare wines that complement your experience at Bullaburra Management Retreat.

The third prerequisite is access to a facilitator and faculty who can help you plan and guide your Management Retreat and offer the follow through support that will enable you to transfer, embed and act on your workshop outcomes. The effectiveness of the event is always very heavily dependent on both preparation and follow through which ensure that the workshop is productive and that its outcomes are acted on. Professor Collins has extensive experience guiding executive Teams through their review and planning processes. In addition he can draw on consulting and academic colleagues to provide the stimulus to challenge your team’s thinking and provide rigorous and relevant tools to enable you to analyse, understand and deal with the challenges that face your team.

In sum, Bullaburra Management Retreat offers a unique venue, resources and an opportunity for you to develop the effectiveness and contribution of your Executive Team. Whilst two or three days out of the rush and bustle of corporate pressures may seem a luxury, it is a necessary investment if you are serious about maintaining the success of your organization.
