They're good for teaching a McKinsey 3 horizons model and realizing you're stuck on horizon 1 for 5+ years because you never cared to get input from the line who actually does the work and has something to say. A team off-site is infinitely more valuable at the same cost including more people and less BS consultant frameworks. What really should happen is after these off-sites, a cross-comparison is made and executives can get reality checks that work aligns or it doesn't. That way there's no surprises when people start leaving or nothing gets done because too much is expected in a just do it fashion.
