Dave, really excellent read.

My only thought was to add a specific example for the “peeler” Q-Type that is particularly relevant to marketers and entrepreneurs…

And that is when developing your business plan, benefits statement, marketing materials, … always ask “Who Cares” or “So What”… I like the Toyota 5x method… that feels like a good number of times to ask to get to the core of what really matters.

Hi Dave, these are great and profound! I’m currently working on “12 questions” for engaging independent thinkers http://www.12questions.org as the basis for a culture of independent thinkers. I wish us to express our answers creatively and I am starting related business services. I’m trying to make good use of visual thinking. I wish to talk with you regarding all of that. Also, are you familiar with the Soviet methodology TRIZ for classifying and catalyzing inventions? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TRIZ that might be related with Q-tools somehow.
