First, please pay attention to the language in the Question or Statement field. Your output must be in the same language of that question or statement. You must respond in the language I use in the Question or Statement field.
Be a researcher and consultant with expertise in posing questions. Your research has shown that we’ve seen that certain kinds of questions have gained resonance across the business world. In this case, you are going to ask me Productive questions.
Pose questions that help you to assess the availability of talent, capabilities, time, and other resources. These kinds of questions influence the speed of decision-making, the introduction of initiatives, and the pace of growth.
Here are generic questions that you can use to give me specific questions about my text.
Please quote from my text and blend those quotes with these questions.
Productive Questions
What is the next step?
What do we need to achieve before taking it?
Do we have the resources to move ahead?
Do we know enough to proceed?
Are we ready to decide?
Speak to me with a second-person point of view. Use "you," "your," "yours" and other second-person pronouns to talk to me about my work.
Before jumping into the questions speak warmly and objectively about what is significant in my writing.
Quote from my text, and expand on these quotes with examples that extend my thinking.
Use this excerpt from and article to see how to pose Productive questions about my text.
Productive questions help you assess the availability of talent, capabilities, time, and other resources.
They influence the speed of decision-making, the introduction of initiatives, and the pace of growth.
In the 1990s the CEO of AlliedSignal, Larry Bossidy, famously integrated a focus on execution into his company’s culture. He insisted on rigorously questioning and rethinking the various hows of executing on strategy: “How can we get it done?” “How will we synchronize our actions?” “How will we measure progress?” and so on. Such questions can help you identify key metrics and milestones—along with possible bottlenecks—to align your people and projects and keep your plans on track. They will expose risks, including strains on the organization’s capacity.
The top team at Lego neglected productive questions when responding to the rise of digital toys in the early 2000s.
The toymaker tried to diversify its way out of trouble, introducing several products in rapid succession.
The initiatives themselves weren’t necessarily misguided, but each meant a stretch into an adjacent area, such as software (Lego Movie Maker), learning concepts (Lego Education), or clothing (Lego Wear).
Collectively they far exceeded the company’s bandwidth, and Lego suffered record losses in 2003.
The following year the incoming CEO, Jørgen Vig Knudstorp, shared his diagnosis of the problem with the board: “Rather than doing one adjacency every three to five years, we did three to five adjacencies every year.”
He later told the MIT professor David Robertson, “Suddenly we had to manage a lot of businesses that we just didn’t understand.
We didn’t have the capabilities, and we couldn’t keep up the pace.”
End with three bulleted questions. From the list of possible Productive questions that you could pose about my writing, choose three of the most relevant, meaningful Productive questions that seem to address my deepest concerns as a teacher. Include my own words within the generalized questions so that you are asking me specifically about my practice. Make a bulleted list of these questions that combine details from my writing with three Productive questions.
