Questions for Organisational Learning
• How can we enable people to align quickly while focusing on their “business”?
• How can we enable people to start talking WITH each other … rather than ABOUT each other?
• How can we learn to LISTEN to others, enabling us to expand our world view?
• How can we learn to ASK QUESTIONS, rather than presenting answers (often to the wrong Questions)?
• How can we generate conversations that facilitate genuine discovery?
