In Italy, the term has circulated mainly in its individual form, where it responds to a personal desire. The corporate version is different in nature: the group travels together, the company pays, and in the end someone asks what was actually produced. This format is called a <strong>work retreat<\/strong> and is designed around an outcome defined from the outset.   <\/p><p> <\/p><p>The type of place required also changes. A one-day offsite needs a spacious meeting room.
