What are the implications of that?
It’s a simple and powerful question that helps reveal:
- The severity and urgency of a problem
- What matters most
- Interdependencies
- Impacts
- Risks
- Resources required
- Viability
- Sustainability
- The strengths and weaknesses of a solution
- Potential long-term and unintended consequences
- Blindspots
- Next steps
It’s a shame that it’s too seldom asked.
