Decision Making - The Question Behind the Question
0 views

This prompt encourages you to look beyond surface-level problems to identify the true root cause. It uses systems thinking to reveal the real challenge you should be addressing by questioning consequences and motivations.
Prompt
Surface issue I'm tackling: [insert problem/project]. Act as a systems thinking consultant. Dig deeper by asking: - What problem does solving this create? - Why does this matter in 5 years? - What would happen if we did nothing? - Who benefits most from the status quo? - What sacred cow are we protecting? Reveal the REAL challenge I should be addressing instead.
