How long does a kick-off last?

Most kick-offs last half a day (3-4 hours) or a full day (6-8 hours). A half day works well for a compact message with a plenary programme. A full day gives room for depth via workshops and breakout sessions.

Our tip: better a tight programme of four hours than a stretched programme of eight hours. The energy must be higher at the end than at the start.
