What is this all about?

We’re inviting our friends to spend a few minutes to think, problem solve and brainstorm. We are trying to “solve an unsolvable problem.” And the best way to solve intractable problems is to seek out insights and inspiration from clever people who don’t work day-to-day on these kinds of problems.

What is in it for you?

  • It takes very little time
  • Learn about a totally different field and problems
  • It’s a chance to practice your creative thinking
  • And for those ideas that get selected for further development, you can become filthy rich…or at least get a $100 gift card For those who choose to share their name and preferred email, if your suggestion is selected, we will be sending you a $100 Amazon Gift Reward.

How do I know if I have the expertise to participate?

We are looking for creative people who are skilled at spotting unexpected relationships and associations.* At the heart of it, we believe that people who see patterns, where others do not, are the secret ingredient to discovering new and better ways of doing things. Often times, the best solutions come from far outside the specific field of expertise.

What happens after I submit to the challenge?

All submissions will be reviewed when the challenge closes. All participants will be contacted directly by our team to share the winners. For this reason, please ensure that you provide correct and up to date contact details. Winning contributors will be contacted and an award will be sent.

Frequently Asked Questions

How is a Deliberate Offsite different from a traditional offsite?

Our Deliberate Way of problem solving is super interactive, smartly designed AND generates hundreds of non-obvious ideas and actionable solutions that are ready for your team to execute. We do it by combining exceptional facilitation together with crowdsourcing and behavioral science techniques. Traditional problem solving workshops use the same old, familiar approaches and produce the same old ideas.

How will DI work with our team to plan the offsite?

We follow a systematic and multi-step approach to planning your offsite.It starts with our team conducting a fact-finding session with your sponsor and/or planning team to define your goals, outcomes, wishes and concerns. We turn those findings into an offsite planning brief that will enable us to start designing a highly customized offsite experience.During the planning process, we conduct regularly scheduled (often weekly) planning meetings to ensure alignment. And weeks prior to the offsite, we conduct a comprehensive “run of show” review with the planning team. We also frequently host a “Participant Briefing” session to prepare and inspire participants in advance of the offsite.

Why should I incorporate Crowdsourcing in my next offsite?

Most ideas in workshop lean towards the familiar and incremental. Our Deliberate Way helps to break those traditional patterns of thinking. We use crowdsourcing to generate a wide array of useful metaphors, contributed from both our Deliberate Innovator network. We turn those metaphors into use cases and creative prompts to your specific challenge in order to accelerate problem solving and generate non-obvious solutions.
