We help organizations succeed even during turbulent times!

Our emphasis is on putting titles and organizational levels aside so that people can really have a chance to relax, unwind and connect. Creating a stronger bond between peers in a relaxed setting will improve interaction and communication. That is why we incorporate upbeat recreational activities, often outdoor, into our simulations.

Most of the team building programmes on the market include a "debriefing session" that lasts less than an hour.

We devote 1/3 - 1/2 of each executive retreat or team building retreat to your SPECIFIC business issues and challenges.

After an in-depth debriefing, we re-configure your teams and assign a SPECIFIC business issue, challenge or opportunity to each team. The rest of the team building retreat is devoted to:

• analyzing your business issues using the tools and strategies acquired during the simulation and recreational activities.
• an opportunity for teams to make brief presentations the results of their analysis and proposed solutions
• your business agenda items
• next steps and a follow up planning to be implemented when your team returns to the office

5 to 7 star resorts and itineraries are our specialty.

What we Offer

Kuala Lumpur

Executive Oasis International is a consulting firm with expertise in the design and facilitation of business team building simulations.

In today's demanding business environment, your team faces intense pressure to "make their numbers" and generate tangible results. However, on a typical day, you'll find many executives scrambling to put out the latest fire, inundated by e-mail, and swamped with voice messages. Few senior management teams can afford to devote time, money or energy to executive team building that adds little in terms of bottom line value. That's where we come in.

Our core services are consulting and business facilitation. We integrate our expert business facilitation with engaging indoor and outdoor team challenges and recreational activities to produce memorable and effective business team building simulations.

We specialize in:

• team building simulations that can be offered during the day at your office or an off-site location
• team building retreats that involve 1 - 5 night stays at STUNNING hotels and resorts worldwide

Abu Dhabi

You can select from:

• on-site, facilitated team building at your office
• a facilitated team building simulation for an executive or team building retreat that you plan internally
• a customized team building retreat bundling our expert team building facilitation with hotel, meeting space, transportation, recreational activities, a reception, themed dinner, and entertainment

No matter which option you select, your team will leave your team building session with tools and strategies that they can use on a daily basis to boost team and organizational performance.

Our UNFORGETTABLE ITINERARIES bundle expert team building facilitation and business simulations with recreation, tours, lavish themed dinners, special events, transfers, and luxurious accommodation. It's a winning combination.

Ain Al Shockna, Egypt

We are based in Toronto, however, we can offer executive retreats and team building sessions anywhere in the world. We offer a number of highly effective simulations for executive retreats on-site at your company premises or at luxurious locations in Canada, Jamaica, Dubai, Oman, and Asia (Singapore, Malaysia).

Are Team Building Retreats a Smart Strategy for Tough Times?

Here is one Perspective in this reprint of a "National Post"
Newspaper Article in Which our Owner is Quoted:

During Tough Times, Smart Firms Retreat

Should Companies Cut Team Building During a Recession?

Business Events Turn Practical

Give Back to the Community

Experience the local culture....Give back to the Community

Recently, several financial institutions and insurance companies in the USA have been severely criticized for holding luxurious retreats when their companies have been experiencing financial difficulty.

Lawmakers steamed over ritzy AIG retreat after bailout

This has made some organizations nervous about spending on team building retreats during a recession. We want to remind you that, if your company is doing well, you can actually help stimulate the economy and save jobs in the hospitality, travel and tourism industries by spending money on team building retreats. This is also an ideal opportunity to inspire your team by giving back to the community. If you want to reward your team, giving back to the community is in and of itself highly rewarding.

For a number of years, we had offered team building simulations that provide an opportunity to generate revenue for charity, assemble toys and provide meals for families. Here are a few examples:

• Visexecutaries: Apprentice Team Building
• Survivor Team Building
• Team Building with Toys

Our clients are making a difference!

Kuala Lumpur

For example, as a result of their team building simulations:

• Our March, 2007 Visexecutaries delegates in Kuala Lumpur raised RM1,647 for the National Kidney Foundation
• Participants in our May 2007 Visexecutaries: Apprentice Team Building session in Kuala Lumpur raised RM2,311 for the National Kidney Foundation
• In August, 2006, BBQs were held in conjunction with the EPICPCS Visexecutaries Apprentice Team Building projects. As a result, the executive team of EPICPCS donated funds to the Stepping Stones Shelter in Liberal, Kansas and the Lions Club Save the Train fund in Guymon, Oklahoma
• CIBC donated a giant puzzle used for a team building simulation during orientation to a children's therapeutic residence
• Senior managers from various municipalities in China assembled shoeboxes for Operation Christmas child as part of a simulation that we conducted for them during their exchange programme in Toronto

YOUR team & your organization can make a difference too!!

Abu Dhabi

Luxury is finally affordable.

What We Don't Offer

We do NOT specialize in short, stand alone, low budget, strictly recreational activities for teams.

Our luxury team excursions are typically offered
as part of a full executive retreat but they are
also available as stand alone events.

• We offer team building simulations and business retreats at stunning locations worldwide but we are not a DMC or travel agent.
• Our simulations incorporate recreational activities but we are not a recreation company.
• Our retreats usually have a gala dinner or a night of entertainment but we are not an entertainment company.

Our aim is to help you avoid analysis paralysis. Therefore, if you are seeking detailed and rigourous analytical tools and complex financial models, our approach would not be a good fit for you.

Our focus is on innovation and using tools that will help executives, managers and sales professionals from fast-paced organizations:

• get a clear view of the lay of the land to determine priorities
• spot emerging trends in your marketplace
• expedite decision making
• engage in course correction to keep abreast of marketplace developments

We'll help you identify obstacles, challenges, and opportunities so that you can chart your course and take action when it is required.
