How to Host a Productive Team Day in Ampthill

A great team day blends focus and human connection. In Ampthill, you can do both without losing time to travel. Use this simple structure to keep the energy high and the outcomes clear.

Before the day

  • Define outcomes: 3–5 decisions you must leave with.
  • Share a one‑page pre‑read: context, constraints, and the problem statements.
  • Book your room and a breakout pod for 1:1s or sidebars.
  • Arrange lunch locally so you don’t lose momentum.

On the day

Here’s a repeatable format that fits a typical 9:30–4:30.

  • Morning strategy sprint (2 × 90‑minute blocks): one topic per block, with timeboxed discussion.
  • Midday reset: a quick walk to Market Square or a mobility session to wake up the brain.
  • Afternoon decisions: confirm owners, due dates and success criteria for each work stream.

 

Food & coffee within minutes

 

    • The Social: specialty coffee on site to keep the day moving.

    • Fratelli (Italian): great for client‑facing lunches or a celebratory team meal.

    • Independent cafes around Market Square (e.g., Surfin Cafe) for quick bites.

After the day

 

    • Share notes within 24 hours (template below).

    • Book a 30‑minute follow‑up two weeks out to unblock and re‑prioritise.

    • Capture feedback: what made the day productive? Double down next time.

Booking checklist

 

    • Room capacity, screen and connectivity requirements

    • Pod availability for side conversations

    • Catering plan and dietary needs

    • Post‑session drinks or dinner reservation in town

Lock the next cadence while people are still buzzing. Momentum compounds.
