Better Solutions come from Better Questions.

Have you noticed that people are more likely to analyze problems than they are to look for solutions? Despite the ambiguity of business and organizations we still think that a close examination of the problem will lead to action. Instead, it leads to inaction.

How do we speed up decision making and action orientation so that we become more productive, more effective managers and workers?

This session teaches us the value of better questions and how to ask them so that people speed up progress on moving the organization forward.
