GLO 410: Systems Thinking: Chapter 17: Systemic Questioning

"An old Jewish proverb says that you should never trade a  good question for an answer, and sometimes the best way to answer can be by asking a question. Questions are he quintessence of evaluations and other forms of social inquiry. Through questions we acquire information, and we also generate new information. A well-thought-out question can liberate, provide more options, expand the horizon of perception, create a new frame in which new solutions emerge. A badly thought-out question can lead you deeper into a problematic state, into a world of restrictions and hopelessness."-Systems Concepts in Action, Chapter 17
