Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The workplaces away from the office where the team engages in activities to generate new product ideas are called "skunkworks." Skunkworks is a term that was popularly coined by Lockheed Martin in the 1940s to describe a small, autonomous team formed within a company to undertake a highly innovative and complex project. This term has now come to be synonymous with any group of coworkers who collaborate informally to work on a special project or generate new ideas.
