Asking the right questions has the power to dissolve the barriers to creative thinking: It can move the emphasis away from finding a single correct answer and on to creating larger positive change and greater organizational value.

The Inquiry-Driven Leadership online short course from the MIT Sloan School of Management teaches you to adopt a questioning approach to effectively identify and solve organizational problems. You’ll learn about the conditions and behavioral habits that facilitate the space for asking better questions, and develop the ability to find, frame, and solve challenges within your context.

By learning to facilitate productive inquiry with a question-based mindset, you’ll uncover new business insights and opportunities for innovation. Discover the catalytic questions that foster transformative change, shift behaviors and beliefs, and generate individual and organizational value.

If you’re interested in solving business problems, this online program will help you to develop the inquisitive leadership skills to overcome real business challenges and uncover new opportunities. The productive inquiry tools taught in this program will be of use to professionals across functions and industries. Senior and middle managers alike will benefit from an understanding of why a question-based approach is becoming increasingly relevant in today’s context of uncertainty and disruption. For consultants and strategists, as well as marketing, innovation, and operations professionals, the course will serve to develop your critical-thinking and problem-solving strengths, and assist you in driving profound change in your organization.
