Strategic planning in the sky: Why is team building more efficient in nature than in an office building?

In modern corporate culture, we talk more and more about 'efficiency', but we often lock the team in the same sterile boxes when we expect creativity from them. However, science says otherwise: our brains go to the highest level not between the four walls but near nature.
