Unlock Innovation & Remove Roadblocks

Unlock Innovation & Remove Roadblocks

A simple, stress-free Life Hack to uncover your potential blind spots and roadblocks. We live in a world where answers are far more important than questions. Yet as 2020 has shown us, there are times when answers are hard to come by. While many of us seek solutions less complex than COVID’s cure, we still shy away from asking the tough questions. And too often we don’t create a process to invite questions from others and listen with an open mind. Regrettably, this nearly universal discomfort with uncomfortable questions creates blind spots for all of us.


Chris Broderick led us through a scientifically proven process that helps us break through barriers, remove blind spots, and unlock innovation. During our hands-on program, we tapped the wisdom around us to uncover what we don’t see (We don’t know what we don’t know.). The process was introduced by Hal Gregersen – Executive Director, MIT Leadership Center. 

We modeled the program first (which you can watch in the recording) and then each participant went through it in breakout groups. It was a powerful experience and we all were able to uncover a few unknown questions to help us breakthrough.  

The Process (6 minutes): 

  1. Pick ONE challenge or opportunity and share it with your group  
  2. Your group needs to ask any questions that come to mind that they would want to pose – questions you should be asking yourself to successfully tackle/overcome the challenge or opportunity.  
  3. You are not allowed to respond, just write down the questions. (You should end up with 15-20 questions.) 

Post-Process Reflection: 

  • Study the questions you’ve been given 
  • Group questions along with common themes 
  • Identify one or two that create new pathways to explore your problem 
  • Commit to pursuing at least one new pathway
