Questions Are the Answer

Autor Hal Gregersen
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 13 noi 2018

Urgența de a citi Questions Are the Answer acum derivă din viteza cu care vechile soluții devin irelevante într-o economie globală imprevizibilă. Nu ne mai permitem luxul de a căuta răspunsuri corecte la întrebări greșite. Suntem de părere că această lucrare, semnată de Hal Gregersen, reprezintă un instrument critic pentru orice lider care simte că echipa sa a ajuns într-un punct de stagnare creativă. Găsim în această carte nu doar o pledoarie pentru curiozitate, ci o metodologie riguroasă extrasă din peste 200 de interviuri cu vizionari precum Jeff Bezos sau Richard Thaler. Complementar volumului A More Beautiful Question de Warren Berger, care explorează arta interogației ca filozofie de viață, Questions Are the Answer acoperă zona pragmatică a proceselor de business, oferind tehnici specifice pentru a genera acele 'întrebări catalitice' care pot redefini direcția unei companii. Poziționată ca o continuare firească a cercetărilor din Innovator's DNA, unde Hal Gregersen analiza trăsăturile inovatorilor, noua carte se concentrează pe mecanismul declanșator al inovației: capacitatea de a sparge tiparele de gândire prin interogație sistemică. Autorul demonstrează că succesul nu aparține celor care dețin toate răspunsurile, ci celor care au curajul să chestioneze premisele fundamentale ale propriei industrii.

Descriere scurtă

2018 Nautilus Book Awards Silver Winner
What if you could unlock a better answer to your most vexing problem—in your workplace, community, or home life—just by changing the question?
Talk to creative problem-solvers and they will often tell you, the key to their success is asking a different question.
Take Debbie Sterling, the social entrepreneur who created GoldieBlox. The idea came when a friend complained about too few women in engineering and Sterling wondered aloud: "why are all the great building toys made for boys?" Or consider Nobel laureate Richard Thaler, who asked: "would it change economic theory if we stopped pretending people were rational?" Or listen to Jeff Bezos whose relentless approach to problem solving has fueled Amazon’s exponential growth: “Getting the right question is key to getting the right answer.”  
Great questions like these have a catalytic quality—that is, they dissolve barriers to creative thinking and channel the pursuit of solutions into new, accelerated pathways. Often, the moment they are voiced, they have the paradoxical effect of being utterly surprising yet instantly obvious.
For innovation and leadership guru Hal Gregersen, the power of questions has always been clear—but it took some years for the follow-on question to hit him: If so much depends on fresh questions, shouldn’t we know more about how to arrive at them? That sent him on a research quest ultimately including over two hundred interviews with creative thinkers. Questions Are the Answer delivers the insights Gregersen gained about the conditions that give rise to catalytic questions—and breakthrough insights—and how anyone can create them.
