The question is why so few questions?

“If everything goes well, we get hired to provide answers based on our expertise — not questions based on our curiosity.”

Anne-Laure Le Cunff, PhD

To quote Hugh Garry at Storythings: “Children ask between 70 and 150 questions a day. Adults ask between 20 and 30. Children fail fast and propel themselves forward by constantly asking questions. Then things change.”

Asking questions is central to ArkAngel consultancy, not least in the ‘Kicking the Tyres’ sessions we run which are all about asking the right questions at the right time.

Curiosity is the lifeblood of creativity and innovation. Certainty does not come with the territory. Informed risk and the excitement of the not yet known are the essence of this realm.
