As the boss of Microsoft, Bill Gates would take one week, two times a year, and escape by himself to a secret clapboard cabin somewhere in a cedar forest in the Pacific Northwest.
It was what he called his “Think Week.”
Work done during one Think Week eventually led to Microsoft to launching Internet Explorer in 1995. And in 2005, Gates was reading a paper called “Virtual Earth” that described building a virtual map with information on traffic and live images of final destinations.

Why Attend a Strategic "Think Week" ?
Why Attend a Strategic "Think Week" ?
1. Stay Ahead of Competition
Markets move fast. Competitors innovate, pivot, and adapt. If you don’t take time to reassess your strategy, you risk being left behind. Think Week gives you the structured space to evaluate your position and sharpen your competitive edge.
2. Navigate New Laws and Regulations
From compliance to sustainability, new rules are constantly reshaping how businesses operate. A Think Week ensures your strategy integrates these changes smoothly instead of reacting at the last minute.
3. Harness Emerging Technologies
AI, automation, digital platforms, and other innovations are disrupting every industry. Use this time to identify which technologies can be a threat—or an opportunity—for your business.
4. Align Your Team and New Talent
New co-workers bring fresh perspectives, but also require alignment with your vision. Think Week helps reconnect your leadership team, integrate newcomers, and ensure everyone is rowing in the same direction.
5. Create Clarity in Times of Change
Customer expectations, supply chains, and economic conditions evolve constantly. A strategic pause lets you step back, see the big picture, and adapt with clarity rather than confusion.
6. Recharge and Rethink in a Relaxed Setting
Away from day-to-day pressures, you can think deeply, creatively, and collaboratively. A refreshing environment stimulates new ideas and honest conversations that rarely happen in the office.
7. Learn from Peers and Expand Your Network
By sharing experiences with fellow entrepreneurs and leaders, you gain insights, inspiration, and practical solutions that you wouldn’t find alone.
8. Invest in the Future of Your Business
Think Week isn’t a cost—it’s an investment. One good strategic decision made during this retreat can have long-lasting positive impact on your company’s growth and resilience.
👉 In short: A Think Week is the perfect opportunity to pause, reflect, adapt, and strengthen your business strategy—while building stronger connections in a stimulating, supportive atmosphere.
