Innovation and
creativity—in a box
True to its name, every BentoBox comes with
everything required to get the most from its use—
thoughtfully and elegantly arranged.
What's inside each BentoBox
Each module introduces itself with its grounding idea.
And maps the structure and timing of the session so participants know what to expect.
Participants use a set of cards, booklets, and other physical tools as they follow step-by-step guidance.
Guided by a sequential series of printed books, large enough for the group to work on together.
Each step in the books hand hold teams through their collaborative journey.
12 Thinking Modules for Innovation
The Power of Designing Questions—for Organizations Ready to Truly Transform
Each module of BENTOBOX is born from the deep experience of SYPartners, a creative consulting firm in Silicon Valley that has supported fundamental transformations for some of the world’s leading companies. The firm’s founder, Keith Yamashita, collaborated on numerous projects with Apple’s Steve Jobs, and since then, SYPartners has worked with clients like Google, Facebook, Nike, Starbucks, and IBM—continuously helping them unlock the potential that lies within their organizations.
At the core of SYPartners’ philosophy lies one persistent question:
“How can people and organizations truly change?”
BENTOBOX INNOVATION was created as one compelling answer to that question. The 12 thought modules it contains go far beyond a typical workshop—they function as transformative tools designed to catalyze real, lasting change.
Ask the right questions, and transformation begins.
Each module is meticulously designed to naturally foster open, honest dialogue—even among members meeting for the first time—and accelerate co-creation.
It’s a self-navigated approach that progresses without anyone needing to take charge.
Rather than relying on theories or academic knowledge, the structure is grounded in real-world wisdom and heartfelt intention.It’s not about "exchanging opinions"—it’s about "envisioning the future," "putting values into words," and "redefining relationships."
The program is built to address the essential, transformative questions that organizations truly need.
It draws out the creativity that lies within each individual and encourages teams to revisit not just “what they should do,” but “what they truly believe.”
That is the essence of the BENTOBOX modules.
If you are ready to embrace change, what you need isn’t a method—it’s the right questions.
This program is not just the introduction of a framework.
It’s the starting point for creating the kind of atmosphere that empowers teams to move forward on their own.
