Innovation & Creative Problem Solving
Helping teams think differently when familiar answers are not enough.
Innovation is not limited to breakthrough products or large strategic bets. In everyday work, innovation often begins with the ability to question assumptions, reframe problems and explore better ways of solving practical challenges.
Many teams want to be more creative but get limited by routine thinking, fear of failure, time pressure, functional silos or the belief that only a few people are responsible for new ideas.
The Strawberry Outbound Innovation & Creative Problem Solving Programme helps participants develop the confidence and structure needed to generate, test and refine ideas collaboratively.
Through hands-on challenges, business simulations and facilitated ideation exercises, participants experience how curiosity, experimentation, diverse perspectives and rapid prototyping can improve decision-making.
The programme helps teams move from problem discussion to solution exploration, building practical habits that support innovation in daily work.
For teams that need fresh thinking and practical solutions.
Designed for teams expected to solve problems, improve work and create value.

Create safe conditions for idea sharing, building on others' thinking and constructive challenge.
Facilitate debriefs that connect creative choices with business practicality.
Encourage rapid prototyping, feedback and iteration within the learning experience.
Reinforce customer, stakeholder and user perspectives during problem solving.

What changes after the programme?
A practical way to make innovation accessible to every team.
Organisations choose Strawberry Outbound because this programme makes innovation feel usable, structured and connected to daily work.
Participants do not simply brainstorm ideas. They practise observing problems, challenging assumptions, generating options, testing concepts and improving solutions.
Every programme is customised around the organisation's context, whether the focus is product ideas, process improvement, customer experience, collaboration or transformation.
Clients value the way the session brings energy and discipline together, helping teams see creativity as a practical business skill rather than a personality trait.
The result is a team that is more willing to question, explore, experiment and take ownership for better ways of working.
Generating Practical Service Improvements for a Multi-Location Operations Team
A service organisation operating across multiple cities wanted to improve customer turnaround time without adding major new resources. Teams had discussed the issue often, but most conversations ended with familiar constraints around staffing, systems and approvals.
The organisation wanted employees from operations, customer service and support functions to think differently about the problem and identify practical improvements they could influence.
Strawberry Outbound designed a full-day Innovation & Creative Problem Solving Programme built around real service scenarios, constraint-based challenges and rapid solution prototyping.
Participants first explored how they were defining the problem. They discovered that several delays came from assumptions, handoff gaps and unclear customer communication rather than only resource limitations.
Teams then developed low-cost experiments, tested their ideas inside the simulation and received feedback from peers. Facilitators helped connect each experiment to workplace feasibility and ownership.
After the programme, the organisation piloted three ideas around handoff visibility, customer update templates and local escalation rules. Managers reported quicker issue resolution and stronger employee participation in improvement discussions.
The programme helped the team move from frustration about constraints to practical creativity and shared ownership for service improvement.
Help your teams solve problems with fresh thinking.
Share your audience profile, business challenge, location and preferred duration. Strawberry Outbound will customise the innovation challenges, facilitation and workplace experiments for your people.
