Questions: Rise Of Thought

Written by Ricardo Olmus R In this age of many tasks, information, and great pressure to achieve results, we have been neglecting our main feature: our ability to think. I think more and better? And ANSWERS is in the development of our ability to ask questions. The questions are the source of deep thought process, define tasks, express problems and delineate issues. Few questions, often indicate a slow or space to think. When a response is generated more questions when we started to expand our ability to think in depth. We start with simple questions surface, but our thinking has raised questions quickly became deeper and more complex, more strategic in relation to the subject we are considering. If we have questions, maybe it's because we're not thinking, at least at that time regarding that topic. The questions are equivalent to surface even superficial understanding, the questions are not clear, show mental confusion. If we multiply our ability to ask questions, we will have expanded our ability to think, learn, understand and solve.

Einstein said: "The important thing is to never stop questioning" develop skills in the ability to think, as we develop our ability to ask questions. Issue Mapping is a modern application of the Socratic method to ask questions and integral multiplies our capacity of thought. But the process is the foundation of practice. Just know the methodology is not enough, you need to develop skills and this is achieved with the development of exercises to start simple, then complex. Issue Mapping, start with simple questions, accepting that most likely the central strategic questions and will not appear immediately. But with experience definitely begin to feel that we enter into "thinking" and increasingly began to appear more questions, which generate more and more answers. Developing the ability to get to the heart of the matter, or fundamental strategic question is above all a matter of practice. Mapping Issue combines two elements: a "language" which simplifies and clarifies everything said in questions, answers, and stabilizer brackets and graphing to visually structure, all elements of the thinking process. The maps appear as visual solution, ideally with a tool like MindManager.

The end result: A much greater capacity to generate value through many more ideas and more ability to analyze and solve. A few years will enable the development of dexterity. Our strategic thinking workshop with MindManager provides the foundation of the process, having impacted the lives and development of many individuals and organizations. Related Articles:
