Team Workshops
Forget trust falls. Your team spends a day turning your company values into one large mural — every person paints, every person owns a piece of it — and the finished artwork hangs in your office long after the day is over.
10–60 people · No art skills needed · Everything supplied · New: The Retro Potjie
01 — Why A Mural
A mural isn't. It becomes the first thing a client sees in reception, and a daily reminder to everyone who walks past it of what the team said it stood for — in their own handwriting, in their own paint.
The board is divided so every person — from intern to CEO — paints a section. No art skills needed; it's designed so that it's impossible to ruin.
Your actual values, slogans and symbols get workshopped into the design before a brush comes out. UBUNTU, SYNERGY, ONE TEAM — whatever your story turns out to be.
You keep a large-format artwork, varnished and ready to hang. Team building that turns into office art, employer branding and a talking point for years.

One board03 — Formats & Pricing
Starting at R12,000 for a team of ten — about R1,200 a head for a full day. Every format includes the design workshop, all art materials, the MDF board, facilitation and finishing (varnish and hanging hardware). Travel within Gauteng is included.
Full day · teams of 10 · scales by adding teams
A real retrospective, run around a potjie pot. The cooking time is the talking time — then each team paints what came out of the conversation.
3–4 hours · 10–25 people
Fast and high-energy. The mural is pre-designed around your values; your team brings it to life in an afternoon.
Full day · 20–60 people
The flagship. A morning of collaborative design thinking — your words, symbols and story — then the whole team paints a monumental office centrepiece.
2 days · leadership or product teams
Day one: a real design sprint on a real business problem. Day two: the team paints what they aligned on. Strategy and culture in one hit.
Per-person figures sit at the top of each group-size band — smaller groups work out higher. These are guideline starting points; the final quote depends on group size, board size and location. Outside Gauteng? Ask — we travel.
04 — For Delivery & Engineering Leads
Your retrospectives have gone stale. Same room, same three people talking, same actions carried over. This is a real retro — it just happens around a fire instead of a Jira board.
A potjie takes three hours. That isn't downtime to fill — it's exactly the window a proper retrospective needs, and it removes the thing that kills most retros: eight people sitting in a circle being asked how they feel.
People talk differently standing over a pot with something to do with their hands. Juniors say things they wouldn't say in a sprint review. The quiet ones get a word in.
Which is the retro, exactly. Each layer is a phase of the work, the order determines the result, and once something's down you don't get to relitigate it — you build on top of it. Nobody needs that metaphor explained to them.
The format works around whatever your venue allows. Potjie and boerewors need outdoor space and an open flame — the other two don't.
Dietary requirements — halaal, vegetarian, allergies — are catered for as standard. Mention it when you enquire and it's handled.
05 — The Day Itself
Before the day, we workshop your values, slogans and symbols — the words your people actually use — and translate them into a mural design.
On the day, the board is gridded into sections. Everyone paints — guided, structured, and impossible to get wrong. Music on, phones down.
The grid comes together into one artwork. It gets finished, varnished and installed. Your team made that — and they'll walk past it every day.
