The Question of Questions

This month's DwD is hosted by Peter Jones, principal of innovation research firm Redesign, OCADU professor, and co-founder of Design with Dialogue.
________________

WORKSHOP.   Can a powerful question change the world? Why do some questions motivate people to deeply reflect and act? What does it mean to Live in a Question?

September’s DwD session inquires into the “question of questions.”  We will practice different arts of the question, and explore the impact of powerful questions in dialogue.

The creation and sharing of a catalyzing question is a generative act, it creates a point of view. Such a true question provokes a deep response and outlook. Great questions are the inspiration of research, journalism, strategy, and our imagining of alternative futures.

We can see this principle in action around us. Companies, innovations, and social movements can start with a leader's question that inspires others to get involved. People living in a deep question create this capacity to invite others to answer that question with action.

Such is the pull of the powerful question. Your homework for this session is to come prepared to share a question that is burning to be asked in your life right now.
