Ask More Questions. - Seven Degrees Communications Seven Degrees Communications. October 12th, 2014 by Jessica Levin As a meeting facilitator, I often use a technique called Q-Storming to lead a discussion. This technique, from the Inquiry Institute is designed to get people to ask questions to solve a problem, rather than make statements. By asking questions, participants are able to open their thoughts wider and consider new ideas and angles.
With traditional brainstorming, people make statements. Often, they are stuck inside of their own heads and have a pre-determined idea of how an issue should be dealt with. Q-Storming turns those definitive ideas into more creative solutions and makes people consider other factors. Q-Storming can be used in a variety of situations. I’ve been using this technique for a few years and have developed my own take on it. Here are some observations that I have come across after using this technique for the last few years. Roost.

There’s one hat I wear for which I have limited training: social media. Two years ago I came across a best practices resource for social media – Heather Mansfield’s Social Media for Social Good: A How-to Guide for Nonprofits. Mansfield provides an integrated approach to networking tools such as websites, blogs, Facebook and Twitter. Last week I picked up Mansfield’s recently published companion volume, Mobile For Good: A How-To Fundraising Guide for Nonprofits. Whether a small museum focuses on fundraising or community involvement, Mobile For Good’s strategic approach is an invaluable resource to create a holistic social media policy.
