I've had some very productive and memorable discussions during long road trips. Today's drive gave me an good idea for corporate planning sessions. Get the team in a car or van and hit the highway with an agenda of topics to be tackled. The road trip format seems to foster informal and open discussion. Someone - preferably not the driver - should be designated as scribe to capture all ideas during the trip.
