How long does a corporate workshop last?

Question

Accepted Answer

The ideal duration of a corporate workshop depends on the goal and the complexity of the issue. A focus session with a clear, defined goal can be wrapped up in two to three hours. For more complex issues that need depth — think of strategy development or team-building paths — half a day or a full day is more realistic. Workshops of more than six hours are rarely effective: attention wanes and the quality of the output drops. Always build in enough breaks: at least one break per hour and a half. An energetic, shorter workshop usually delivers better results than a long session that exhausts halfway through.
