Question-Storming focuses on generating questions rather than solutions. It encourages people to ask as many questions as possible about a given topic or challenge, promoting deeper exploration and uncovering new perspectives and insights.
Here’s how to get started:
✅ No Solutions: During your next team meeting, shift from seeking solutions to generating questions on the topic at hand.
✅ Create a Safe Space: Make sure everyone feels comfortable voicing their questions. No question is too simple or too out-of-the-box. The goal is to explore all angles.
✅ Collect, Organize, and Choose: Place questions on sticky notes and organize them by theme onto a whiteboard. Visit each theme to determine which might offer the biggest insights. Vote to choose where to focus the remaining time.
✅ Explore and Gain Insights: Set a time limit to discuss top vote getters. During this time, examine the topic at hand through the questions selected. What did you learn new? What will you do differently?
Adopting question-storming can transform your problem-solving process and lead to breakthrough innovations.
Start asking more questions and watch your team’s creativity and effectiveness soar.
