Farm building: learning from nature to achieve excellence
Team building and location scouting
The client request
Corporate trip and team-building
Our valued client, IMCD, entrusted us with the planning and execution of a two-day corporate trip near Milan, Italy. The primary focus of the event was internal meetings, complemented by an engaging team-building activity. We were also to find the perfect location for the whole experience, somewhere that provided an added value to the company’s team building exercise.
The Smart Eventi proposal
Farm Building
We took our client’s team to Valtellina, to a luxurious farmhouse getaway complete with meeting rooms, a pool, spa, and restaurants, including a Michelin-starred gem. But the real showstopper? Our unique team-building activity, which we dubbed “Farm Building”. Very early in the morning, our guests visited a farm, where they learned how to milk goats, using the fresh milk to churn their own butter. That wasn't the culmination of this experience. With an eye on the company’s two main fields of interest - beauty and food - we challenged teams to create a body scrub with their butter and some other natural ingredients to be sourced from the farmhouse. Sales pitches were evaluated, functionality given thought, and teamwork recognised. Imcd also conducted meetings, and enjoyed delicious, authentic local cuisine at every meal. This was a testament to our belief in pushing boundaries - an outside-of-the-box event demonstrating the endless possibilities we love crafting at Smart Eventi.
