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.
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.
