Question Storming
QuestionStorming is brainstorming with a twist! You’ll know a whole lot more by using a questioning
process to move toward innovation and generate possible new ways to solve your problems. The
idea of using questions to resolve problems is based on the Right Question Institute’s “Question
Formulation Technique”. The “Question Formulation Technique” was implemented in the classroom
for students to develop a questioning technique in 2012. Thanks to Dan Rothstein and Luz Santana.
The QuestionStorming process can be used in the business environment as an alternative for
brainstorming. The process of brainstorming is attributed to Alex Faickney Osborn in the book
“Applied Imagination” from 1953. Brainstorming has been used countless times as a creative problem
solving tool. The downside to brainstorming is the participants may fall into groupthink or develop
“forced” group consent on an idea, because statements are made instead of questions being asked
to creatively find answers.
Question Storming...How to
Step 1
Set a time limit for questioning. State in writing the problem to be solved. Use for groups or as an individual. It’s
recommended there be a scribe to write, if there is a group participating.
Step 2
The idea around this process is to generate as many questions as possible relating to the problem statement.
Step 3
Generate some new thoughts for the written questions that were created in Step 2. Change closed questions, which
can be answered yes or no; to open questions that invite discussion. Do this close vs. open question generation for
each of the questions generated in Step 2.
Step 4
Prioritize the whole list of questions from Step 2 and Step 3. See if three questions rise to the top to resolve your
problem statement from the whole list and create some next steps for action.

questioning.

  • 18. Question Storming QuestionStorming is brainstorming with a twist! You’ll know a whole lot more by using a questioning process to move toward innovation and generate possible new ways to solve your problems. The idea of using questions to resolve problems is based on the Right Question Institute’s “Question Formulation Technique”. The “Question Formulation Technique” was implemented in the classroom for students to develop a questioning technique in 2012. Thanks to Dan Rothstein and Luz Santana. The QuestionStorming process can be used in the business environment as an alternative for brainstorming. The process of brainstorming is attributed to Alex Faickney Osborn in the book “Applied Imagination” from 1953. Brainstorming has been used countless times as a creative problem solving tool. The downside to brainstorming is the participants may fall into groupthink or develop “forced” group consent on an idea, because statements are made instead of questions being asked to creatively find answers.
  • 19. Question Storming...How to Step 1 Set a time limit for questioning. State in writing the problem to be solved. Use for groups or as an individual. It’s recommended there be a scribe to write, if there is a group participating. Step 2 The idea around this process is to generate as many questions as possible relating to the problem statement. Step 3 Generate some new thoughts for the written questions that were created in Step 2. Change closed questions, which can be answered yes or no; to open questions that invite discussion. Do this close vs. open question generation for each of the questions generated in Step 2. Step 4 Prioritize the whole list of questions from Step 2 and Step 3. See if three questions rise to the top to resolve your problem statement from the whole list and create some next steps for action.
