The Right Questions


The ability to ask the right questions is crucial when solving a problem. To many people simply start a brain storming session with an undefined problem. E.g. writing on a board “Market Share” and going “any ideas?”. What about it? Do you want it up or down or sideways? Whose market share even? Which Product?

Rather take it a step further. Keep “Market Share” on the board, but ask..

“How can we increase our market share from x%?
“Which of our products can we lever effectively to impact the market more?”
“What is our current target market and how can we increase it?”

“What new markets can we get into?”

These are sample questions, each scenario will have its own. But now it is easy to discuss each one.
