When I was at Google in the bay area almost a decade ago and, unless my memory is heavily exaggerating, the executives of our org were in an offsite every three weeks for at least a year working on 'strategy'. It became a meme at the time among us lower ranks and I was amazed at the excess. There was no noticeable output from all those offsites and as an org we failed to execute on anything successful. I have had a low opinion of offsites ever since and have wondered if other people thought so as well or it was just me being cynical.

Google a decade ago would have been chrome, chrome os, chromebooks, android? Or maybe those happened earlier?
