Play to see what you can truly build.

A team on the round stage, mid playA team on the round stage, mid play

On Earth your company sees what is. On Mars, for one afternoon, your team leaves the limits and plays out the company it could be.

The strategy nobody dares to say. The future not yet allowed in the room. You see it, you play it, you come back with it.

How Mars transforms a company

People: understand, believe, create

Everything on Mars serves one thing. People who understand, believe and create.

  1. 1

    One team

    The executive team plays first. One afternoon, one intent, everybody brings a question. Most decide the next morning what comes next.

  2. 2

    One layer

    The same question travels to the next hundred people. Different rooms, same stage, same rules. What the board saw, the company sees.

  3. 3

    Everyone

    A series. Every team plays its own question, one afternoon at a time. A thousand people is forty afternoons.

You take home one page.

The Onepager from Mars. A strategic perspective from your trip to Mars, on one page, the morning after.

What they said the next morning

Direct Group flies forward today partly because we dreamed on Mars.

Pavel Řehák, CEO, Direct Group
Life in a company runs unbelievably fast. Mars helped our team stop for a moment. Sometimes that is the best thing you can do to move forward.

Igor Tóth, CEO, O2 Slovakia
A team under pressure that barely talked to each other turned into a group of people who laughed, shared, and realised they are incredible personalities.

Lenka Veselá, MSD
Great and healing for the company and our people.

Ondřej Novotný, co-founder, OKTAGON MMA
The power of this format lies in its ability to shift perspectives. It allows your people to break free from established patterns of thinking. The result is incredible.

Radka Dohnalová, Founder and CEO, ATAIRU
The experience opens new perspectives. It either confirms what you believe or shows you a different reality.

  • No titles.
  • No script.
  • No audience.
  • Just play.

On Mars nobody is their job title. You are the Surgeon, the Widow, the Year 2030. Nobody is graded, nobody is quoted. What is played on Mars stays on Mars.

Who runs it

Every play is designed by a playmaker and produced by a producer. Same method in Prague, Zürich or London.
