Managing cross-regional operations often leaves key decision-makers operating in silos. To overcome this, Puma Sport Company gathered 21 regional managers for an exclusive 2D1N executive retreat. Designed and facilitated in partnership with Play With PLAY, the retreat was hosted at Hillcrest Dawn Resort in Bentong—a scenic hilltop destination offering fresh mountain air and dedicated event spaces tailored for large corporate groups.

The overarching goal was simple yet critical: provide a rare face-to-face opportunity for leadership to step away from day-to-day operations, strengthen cross-team communication, and build lasting strategic alignment across diverse regional markets.

Facilitation Framework & Event Highlights

To maximize engagement without overwhelming participants, Play With PLAY structured a balanced 2D1N framework combining tactical experiential exercises with unhurried informal bonding:

  • Light Group-Based Challenges: Facilitated interactive outdoor exercises leveraging the resort’s sprawling grounds to encourage open communication, active listening, and joint problem-solving.
  • Focused Leadership Space: Provided structured sessions away from office distractions, enabling cross-regional peers to share operational insights and unify strategic priorities.
  • Informal Evening Bonding: Transitioned into relaxed evening social gathering, creating an authentic, pressure-free environment for natural relationship-building.

Key Outcomes & Client Feedback

By balancing structured challenge modules with genuine social connection, the retreat successfully broke down inter-regional barriers and fostered cohesive leadership synergy.

It's actually really organised and fun, I like it because there's a lot of space for everyone to run around. Good job!
