KEY QUESTION/S
Good companies work with answers, excellent companies work with
questions. If you ask the organization the right question, that is more
powerful than the answers they already have.
Nick Udal - NOWHERE
If I had an hour to solve a problem and my life depended on the solution,
I would spend the first 55 minutes determining the proper question to
ask, for once I knew the proper question, I could solve the problem in
less than 5 minutes.”
Albert Einstein
“It’s the question that drives us, Neo...”
Trinity to Neo, in the movie “The Matrix”“

3. KEY QUESTION/S
for CREATIVE DIALOGUE
The key question is used as a vehicle to extract the wisdom from the
person and/or the system through the process of creative dialogue/inquiry.
The key question is open ended.
You can’t answer it alone, you need systemic co-creative energy.
We want to hold it rather than answer it fast, in order to allow the creative
tension to work on us - The “unknown” to metabolise and UNFOLD in
something NEW – “innovation”.
…With the key question, there are no compromises. It must keep you energized
and awake, and hold your attention. If there is not enough energy in the
question, simply do not start (the meeting, strategy session…) until you feel
right…
