At the start
The launch room
Your own meeting room has been turned into a launch room, this time with Christmas lights. A personal travel case is ready for every team member. We count down, and you are launched together into your future.
The full Trip to the Future, in festive dress. Not a workshop, an immersive team game. You travel together to the moment where everything has worked out, and if you like, you bring a real team challenge on board.
Ideal as a team day or as the kick-off of next year's strategic plan. You go home with a route map.
Price on request · travel report worth €495 free when booked before 31 December
Ask your team today where you will be in a few years. Four different answers, three shades of certainty, one shared awkwardness.
Not because your plans are wrong. Because the picture does not land the same way with everyone yet.
The New Year Edition solves that in half a day, right at the moment the new year begins. At your own office, with your own team, facilitated by someone who has been doing it for 17 years.
It is the full Trip to the Future, in festive dress. You can count on spectacle and a few hilarious moments. At the same time the trip has a serious core. Want to bring a concrete challenge of the team, such as next year's strategic plan? This trip is very well suited to that.
And once you can see the future, you start to long for it.
Not a presentation and not a workshop. An immersive team game in which you experience your future together.

Someone presses the red button, and you see the most sceptical colleague burst out laughing. Points for the fastest group, points for the most creative. This is where the ideas come from that later turn into the most valuable discoveries.
In smaller groups you create the route maps: the picture of the future you saw together, the steps back to today, and what each team member will concretely do tomorrow. A piece of work everyone can retell.
Most Trips take place where you work every day. No travel time, no calendar stress. The picture of the future takes root right where it has to live tomorrow. Rather get away for a bit? Choose a venue or an estate yourself. I will travel along.
Sometimes it helps to step out of the organisation for a while. At our headquarters in Velden (North Limburg, the Netherlands), with space and air around you. The same Trip, with the office baggage literally left behind.
With your team or board, 4 to 12 people. Guided by me, as with more than a thousand travellers before you.
With materials we use during the Trip. Want Christmas items in it? You tick that in your request.
A visual document that holds on to your shared picture of the future. A map you can take in within a minute.
The visual record of your day. Free when booked before 31 December.
We go through the tone, the goals and the sensitivities. On the day itself, all you have to do is get your team into a room.
Since 2008 with teams and boards, from A-brands to public organisations and family businesses.
"In the weeks after, I heard people use my own words on the work floor."
"An immersive team game in which even the most sceptical colleagues were fanatically taking part halfway through."
The full Trip to the Future, in festive dress. After your request I will call you for a short intake. There we agree on the approach, date and price.

I am Corné van Mechelen. For 17 years I have been taking people and teams into the future, at organisations such as Efteling, ING and ABN AMRO. It works because people only truly want a future once they have seen it.
A strategy session produces a document. A Trip produces a shared picture. A document wears out after the first deadline, a picture stays as an anchor for the whole team.
Then it is confirmed and sharpened during the Trip, or a clearer picture emerges than you had before. The biggest gain is in how it comes about: because the team imagines it together, everyone becomes a co-owner.
One intake. There we go through the tone, the goals and the sensitivities. After that I put together a tailored programme.
Festive extras in everyone's travel case that we use during the Trip. You tick them when you request the trip.
Then travel along in January. The New Year Edition is made precisely to start the new year sharply together.
Yes, the Trip is also available in Dutch as the Reis naar de Toekomst.
