"If I had an hour to save the world, I would spend 59 minutes defining the problem and 1 minute finding solutions."

At this point in.
The innovation minute, we've been talking about asking better questions. And I want to turn to a quote from Albert Einstein.
At least it's attributed.
To Albert Einstein.
He reputedly said, if I had an.
Hour to save the world, I would.
Spend 59.
Minutes defining the problem, 1 minute finding solutions.
59 minutes.
Defining the problem, 1 minutes finding solutions.
The reality is, in.
Most organizations, I find that people are running around spending 60 minutes solving problems that don't matter.
So if you.
Ask better questions, if.
You ask better questions, you will get.
Better solutions.
Because better questions are those questions.
That help you.
Differentiate.
Coming back to the focus part of our fast model.
They help you differentiate. You can reframe them multiple times. And so when we ask different questions.
We will always get different solutions and usually more valuable solutions.
