The same team, with similar experiences, looking at the same problem tend to come up with the same answer. Or worse, they come up with the answer before really defining the problem. Nature with its fit for purpose approach tends to find novel ways to solve problems using only the resources to hand. However, unlike many businesses, it is prepared to mix it up a bit with some real diversity of input. Typically nature's solutions use less energy and as a result are more 'environmentally friendly'. For your next meeting why not use a nature inspired facilitated session to see if you can get the team thinking differently about the challenges you face.
You could look at growth, CSR, sustainability, personal development, strategic thinking, innovation or simply motivation as your theme. This is what people are saying about such sessions
