--explanation--

Let's think about... is used to suggest considering an idea or taking some time to reflect on a possible action.

When using about, the verb that follows it is in the -ing form. This is because about is a preposition, and after a preposition, you use the -ing form of the verb. For example:

Let's think about improving our workflow. – Here, improving is in the -ing form because it's the verb following about.
