4. Guiding Questions
Navigating Questions
Goal: summarize key points, confirm that
people agree
• Are we on track?
• Did I understand this correctly?
• Is this helping us to get where we want to
go?
• Is this a useful discussion thread?
• Should we table this for now and put it on
a list of things to talk about later?
• Does the goal that we set this morning still
make sense, or should we make some
adjustments based on what we have
learned so far?
from the book ‚Gamestorming‘, Page 27-32

5. Guiding Questions

Goal: invoke observation & analysis, make
abstract ideas more concrete, zoom in on
a topic
• What is it made of?
• How does it work?
• What are the pieces and parts?
• Can you give me an example of that?
• What does that look like?
• Can you describe it in terms of a real-life
scenario?

6. Guiding Questions
Experimental Questions
Goal: spark the imagination, reach higher
level of abstraction
• What else works like this?
• If this were an animal (plant, machine,
etc.), what kind of animal would it be, and
why?
• What are we missing?
• What if all the barriers were removed?
• How would we handle this if we were
operating a restaurant? What if it was a
hospital?
• What if we are wrong?

7. Guiding Questions
Closing Questions
Goal: move toward commitment, decision,
and action, like coming home: you are
tired but you want to end the day with a
sense of accomplishment
• People want to know: Where is the
artifact? What is finished? What comes
next? What will tomorrow look like?
• How can we prioritize these options?
• What’s feasible?
• What can we do in the next two weeks?
• Who is going to do what?

16. Hintergrund /
Nachschlagewerk
„The author argues that innovations occur when
people see beyond their expertise and approach
situations actively, with an eye toward putting available
materials together in new combinations. […] Less
focused on innovations within a corporate setting than
on individual achievements, and more concerned with
self-starting and goal-setting than teamwork […]“
