Asking Smarter Questions
Why do some questions not get asked?
too accustomed to one's own habits
difficulty in tracking the flow of questions in a discussion
5 categories of strategic questions
Speculative
Reframe the problem to generate more innovative solutions :bulb:
"what if...?" "what else...?"
Productive
For assessing the capacity and capabilities of the company
Tracks progress, exposes risks and strains
Execution :star:
Interpretive
Follow-ups to investigative, speculative and productive questions
For making sense of the analyses done so far and how they lead back to the main goal
always circle back to interpretive questions
Subjective
Disruptive questions :warning:
Resolves tensions within the team
Pluralistic ignorance: belief that others hold an opinion different from ones own
Investigative
Digging out information that is not readily apparent :red_flag:
"5 Whys" and "How" to clarify the purpose and develop less generic solutions
Balancing the question mix
Adjust repertoire of questions
Change emphasis, venture out of comfort zone
Find others to compensate
