Warren Berger
A More Beautiful Question
The Power of Inquiry to Spark Breakthrough Ideas
Bloomsbury USA, 2014
What's inside?
Use questions to ignite creativity, find new perspectives and shake things up.
Recommendation
Smartphones, e-books and online shopping exist because someone asked, “Why not?” Journalist Warren Berger asserts that asking simple questions is crucial to creative problem solving. In this absorbing exploration, Berger details how innovators such as Polaroid’s Edwin Land and Netflix’s Eric Hastings parlayed “why” questions into huge businesses. Inquiry is far too rare in business, says Berger, because after the start-up phase, companies tend to perceive questions as threats to the established order. Berger outlines techniques that organizations can use to stimulate a spirit of inquiry, but this is not primarily a how-to manual. Instead, Berger seeks to inspire. Through dozens of stories and the insights of experts, he shows how you can use the right questions to see things that others miss and to expand the sphere of what’s possible. His concepts should be of particular interest to those in creative fields like design or advertising. getAbstract also recommends Berger’s vision of raising and answering “beautiful questions” to entrepreneurs, investors, innovators and anyone doing business in this era of rapid change.

Comment on this summary
1. Porque no?
2. Que pasa si...?
3.Como...?
Estas preguntas son la base que todo innovador debe tener en cuenta, porque no intento hacer un sistema de reparto con un dron (Amazon), que pasa si hago repartos aéreos a través de este dispositivo ahorrando el tiempo de entrega, como lo vamos hacer.
Esto es lo que en resumen me deja esta lectura.
