His Majesty the QUESTION

A well-posed question is more thought-provoking than a clever answer. Thought-provoking questions are designed to encourage deep thinking about the subject in question.

Right questions can help prevent wrong actions and adjust strategic creativity and strategic thinking

 

 

 

Vadim Kotelnikov (VadiK) business guru, teaching by example

When you ask searching questions, you innovate forward. When you have answers, you stagnate.

~ Vadim Kotelnikov

 

Run your company by questions, not by answers, to  get a better innovative culture. Ask a lot of value, strategy-, product-, process-, employee, organization-, customer -, market- and competition-related questions to stimulate conversation that results in innovation.

"Innovation is not something that I just wake up one day and say 'I want to innovate.' I think you get a better innovative culture if you ask it as a question. So in the strategy process we've so far formulated 30 questions that we have to answer," said Eric Schmidt while being the Executive Chairman of Google.
