Inquiry

People, organizations and societies are all integral systems that are defined by components and their compositions, and show the interconnectivity between parts and the whole.

Systems Thinking is about understanding interrelationships between parts and the whole. It helps digital leaders and professionals discover the interconnectivity and interdependence of the digital business ecosystem, help them get behind the "surface" validity and give them deeper insight into the nuances of why and how, and ensure that the digital business as an organic system is growing and evolving with its environment in harmony.

Inquiry People vary in their ideology, cognizance, perceptions, personalities, and priorities; and they react to situations in different ways. Change itself is a tough choice; every person participates in change, experiences the change journey differently and learns from it differently. By taking a philosophical lens, people can gain insight about themselves, their organizations, as well as the ecosystem they live in for exploring the unknown, discovering truth, and advancing human society smoothly.

Initiateinnovativeinquiries Our world is full of uncertainty, change, and complexity; the art of questioning is to discover truth, spark imagination, and provoke comprehensive answers; the science of questioning is to clarify logic, dig into root causes, and figure out better solutions. Asking good questions demonstrates intellectual curiosity, to understand the point of view of the other side, gain objective observation of circumstances, and frame a common-agreeable approach.

In a lot of organizations, particularly well-established ones become stagnant after experiencing a rapid-growth cycle. The organizations or societies that have hit the heights of success in the digital world aren’t those that have determinedly followed the old models and ways of thinking; it’s those that have forged a new path, developed integrated capabilities, built strong talent pools to accelerate organizational performance.

Initiateinquiries In a world full of information, the circumstances are complex, uncertain, a variety of cultures or traditions have inundated us with conventional wisdom. To explore the truth and make progressive changes, organizations need to continually cultivate the next generation of true critical thinkers, independent thinkers, or creative thinkers who can challenge conventional wisdom, analyze and synthesize all sources of information to form their own opinions and make objective judgment; generate novel ideas and solve problems unconventionally.

It’s the journey to amplify your voice, deepen your digital footprints, and match your way for human progression.
