Previously I’ve visited design shows with the full design team. This provided us time as a team away from the rest of the office enabling us to talk about things out of earshot of other departments and also talk about different aspects of design with regards to what we were looking at at the time. This helped reinvigorate those who were getting ground down by the monotony of their workload at the time. It also provided the opportunity to bond over a few beers whilst it was enough of a legitimate design activity to get signed off by the MD to be undertaken during work time.
