Start with WHY, but why stop there?

Start with WHY, but why stop there?


Ever wondered how a simple WHY can unravel the deepest mysteries?


Dive into the "5 times why method“: A problem-solving technique to get to the root cause.


But what if you push boundaries? Go for 10 or 100 times? You could end up in a never-ending loop of WHYS and risk over-analyzing.


Imagine this:

"Why did the machine stop?“

"Because it overheated."

„Why?“

"Faulty part."

„Why?“

"Supplier issue."

„Why?“

"Budget cuts."

„Why?“

"Decreased sales."

...and on it goes! 🔄


Like a curious child, you can keep asking 'why', but there's a point where answers might circle back or become redundant.


So, next time you face a challenge, harness the power of WHY. But remember, it's a tool, not a treadmill! Use it wisely to uncover truths, not to run in circles.
