Questions by Leonardo da Vinci
Hello!
This is the second of three articles on problem analysis and decision-making techniques (the first one is here ).
Today we will talk about the technique, which is called "Questions by Leonardo da Vinci" and is rather a brainstorming method.
Where does this name come from? According to unverified information, this method appeared after decoding and analyzing the diaries of a genius, in which a description was found, as well as traces of the repeated use of this method.
')
Its main advantage is that it does not require virtually any material resources, and time costs pay off immediately.
With the help of this technique you can analyze anything you want, starting from a piece of code, ending with a book you want to write. For example, I last used it before drawing up a presentation, the purpose of which was to sell the idea of ​​introducing a certain system for senior staff.
There will be no examples in this article for two reasons.
1. The example in the first article was extremely unfortunate.
2. The text would be too cumbersome if I used at least one example (now understand why)
All interested in asking under the cat.
We need a pen and a few sheets of paper.
1. Formulate a question, problem or task
All the techniques start with this, but here the wording may simply be the object you are working on.
For example: “Presentation of the performance management system”, “Write a collection of children's stories”, “Sorting algorithm”, etc.
Write the resulting wording at the top of the first sheet. Have written? Go ahead.
2. Write 100 questions related to your problem (task, object)
100 is not a small number, and at this stage you will have to work hard.
There is one main rule - do not come off. Turn off anything that might disturb you, stay alone with your thoughts.
After some time, questions will no longer be formulated quickly, but it will still be necessary to add up to one hundred.
You can use 2 simple techniques - "questions in the stream" and "answer-question."
The essence of the first (often used by coaches, coaches and negotiators) in one sentence is that each next question “clings” to the previous one.
I will give a small chain of questions from my own case with a presentation to illustrate this technique.
“For whom will this presentation be held?” - “What is the experience of using similar systems for these people?” - “If it is different, how can it equally effectively handle the demands of people with different experiences?” - “What can I offer people with little experience?” - "With big? "...
We look carefully at the previous question and try to understand what follows from it and how to put it into the next question.
In the process of asking questions, answers to some of them will come to you by themselves - reformulate the answers into new questions (that is, pretend as if the answer was not received). This method is called the "answer-question".
So, after a while you will have 100 recorded questions (maybe more, the main thing is not less). Is it time to take a break? No, everything is just beginning.
3. Group questions
Combine questions within the meaning of 10 groups. You do not need to rewrite them again; you can simply write their numbers on a separate sheet of paper. Most likely, it will take you a little more time than the preparation of the questions themselves. If you get less than 10 groups - do not worry. In this part of the exercise, unlike the previous one, the main thing is not to overdo it.
Grouped? Forward to the last stage.
4. Ask new questions
Do not be scared. There will be only 10. They have already guessed where they will come from? That's right! From the received 10 groups.
At this stage you need to ask one capacious question for each group, the answer to which will include the answers to the questions of the whole group.
The result of the exercise will be 10 comprehensive questions, the answers to which will give a complete description of the situation.
5. And what to do with it?
You decide. Take these questions to the meeting, ask your colleagues or relatives, look for the answer on the Internet. Or do as I do.
I repeat these questions many times about myself in order to remember them as best as possible and go for a walk.
Mechanical work (in my case, walking) enhances brain activity, so sometimes the answers come by themselves while the brain is working “in the background”, sometimes they are the results of a thorough analysis and search.
The most important thing here is to remember to take a notebook and pen for a walk.
PS This technique is described in the book of MDGelba “Learn to think and draw like Leonardo da Vinci”.
The next article will be devoted to the “ZD - analysis” method.
