Curiosity reigns supreme in our complex – and often complicated – work worlds. Starting Points: Operationally Curious Questions ™ is a collection of operationally curious “icebreakers” designed to assist leaders (and more) with gaining operational intelligence – AKA learning about normal work.

 

Pick a card or choose one at random and then allow your curiosity to run wild. These ‘operationally curious questions’ are designed to act as starting points for deep and meaningful operational learning. Use them during your next team meeting, pick a few before heading into the field, or use them in any situation where you would like to learn deeply about operational reality.

​

A few basics:

 

Slow down and give yourself time and space to be curious and explore.

 

Be Curious, not judgmental. Seek to understand.

 

Learn with the intent or learning, not fixing.

 

Listen to learn and even more “better questions” will naturally begin to emerge.
