Grünenthal worked on complexity in Lisbon.
A Grünenthal management team travelled to Lisbon for Before Mars: a business game about decision-making, collaboration, and handling complexity under pressure.
Client: Grünenthal
Activity: Before Mars
Number of participants: 12
Location: Lisbon
Target group: management team
Theme: complexity, decision-making, strategic thinking
For their management meeting in Lisbon, Grünenthal was looking for an activity that went beyond classic relaxation. The team wanted to work together on complexity: how do you make decisions when not everything is clear? How do you stay focused when information keeps changing? And how do you keep collaborating when pressure increases?
This is exactly where Before Mars fits in.
In this business game, a team is placed in a challenging mission. Participants must build plans, make choices, process information, and adjust when the situation changes. It sounds serious, but the strength lies in the game format. People are drawn into a story, take action, and experience how their collaboration works along the way.
At Grünenthal, the small management team was deeply involved. Everyone had an impact on the outcome. Everyone saw how decisions influenced what followed. And everyone experienced that complexity is not just something to analyse, but something you move through together.
The setting in Lisbon gave the session extra space. Away from the daily context, with enough distance to look at collaboration and decision-making from a different perspective.
What stayed with them
Before Mars gave the team a shared experience of complexity. Not as theory, but as something that became visible through choices, discussions, and priorities.
