Executive Resilience Lab · the premium format above the Performance Lab

Leadership under real pressure

Self-image, external view and an experienced management consultant at your side. For leadership teams that really want to know: goal clarification beforehand, 60 minutes in an escape room with structured observation, then the comparison and a transfer workshop.

At three locations: Leipzig, Hannover and Nienburg. Modular pricing, you'll receive a quote in advance before anything is booked.

What's added

  • Beforehand Goal clarification with us and the consultant: what it's really about and what should be on the table at the end.
  • Self-image Each team member assesses themselves before the game.
  • External view 60 minutes in an escape room, observed as in the Performance Lab: fixed sheet, coloured wristbands instead of names.
  • Comparison Where self-perception and observed behaviour diverge, that's where the leverage is.
  • Workshop Transfer with the consultant: concrete strategies for your everyday leadership.

Who it's for

Who is this for?

Not for every team. The Executive Resilience Lab is worth it when there's more at stake than a great day out.

Leadership teams and executive boards

Who want to know how they really work together under pressure. Not how they describe it in a meeting.

Teams with a pressing issue

That a team event alone won't solve. The goal clarification beforehand makes sure exactly this issue is on the table.

Teams facing major change

Who are reshaping their roles and decision-making. Comparing self-image and external view shows where things get stuck, before it gets expensive.

Just want a strong team event with a report? Then the Performance Lab is your format.

How it works

Your Executive Resilience Lab, step by step

The Performance Lab in the middle, with one extra layer before and one after.

The orange step turns the results into strategies for everyday leadership.

Beforehand

Goal clarification: you discuss with us and the consultant what it's really about and what should be on the table at the end. Then each team member assesses themselves before the game starts.

During the game

60 minutes in an escape room with structured observation. The external view, gathered as in the Performance Lab: four intervals, a fixed observation sheet, coloured wristbands instead of names. The AI writes the draft, people read it through.

Afterwards

Self-assessment afterwards and the comparison: where do self-perception and observed behaviour diverge? That's exactly where the leverage is. In the transfer workshop with the consultant, this becomes concrete strategies for your everyday leadership.

By default, nothing is recorded. For a deeper analysis, video recording is possible, at your request and only by separate agreement. If you need more than our room for the workshop, in Leipzig we can arrange a meeting room and accommodation at the INNSiDE by Meliá on request.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

What's the difference between the Executive Resilience Lab and the Performance Lab?

The Performance Lab delivers observation and a report. The Executive Resilience Lab adds a layer before and after: goal clarification and self-assessment beforehand, then the comparison of self-image and external view and a transfer workshop with an experienced management consultant.

What does the Executive Resilience Lab cost?

Pricing is modular: room and analysis as in the Performance Lab, plus the consulting fee depending on the scope of goal clarification and workshop. You'll receive a joint quote in advance, before anything is booked.

Is anything recorded?

By default, no; the game master watches live. For a deeper analysis, video recording is possible, but only at your request and by separate agreement.

How confidential is it?

During the game, the same applies as in the Performance Lab: observation only with everyone's consent, coloured wristbands instead of names, no psychological testing procedure, no basis for HR decisions. How openly the self-image comparison is discussed in the workshop is something you decide beforehand during goal clarification.

How big can the team be?

2 to 6 people per escape room; larger leadership teams play in several rooms at the same time. Goal clarification and workshop take place together for the whole team. Tell us the number of people in your enquiry and we'll suggest how to split up.
