It seems so basic. Why is it so hard to actually get right? According to innovation expert Phil McKinney, the real problem is that we're teaching people to ask the wrong questions about their businesses--or none at all. There has to be a better way.\n\u003cbr\u003e\nIn Beyond the Obvious, McKinney will help you use his proven FIRE (Focus, Ideation, Rank, Execution) Method to dig deeper and get back to asking the right questions--the ones all companies must ask to survive. Full of real-world examples, this book will change the way you operate, innovate, and create, and it all begins with battle-tested questions Phil has gathered on note cards throughout his career. Shared for the first time here, these \"Killer Questions\" include:\n\u003cbr\u003e\nWhat are the rules and assumptions my industry operates under? What if the opposite were true?\n\u003cbr\u003e\nWhat will be the buying criteria used by my customer in 5 years?\n\u003cbr\u003e\nWhat are my unshakable beliefs about what my customers want?\n\u003cbr\u003e\nWho uses my product in ways I never anticipated?\n\u003cbr\u003e\nThese questions will reframe the way you see your products, your customers, and the way the two interact. Whether you're a company of thousands or a lean startup, Beyond the Obvious will give you the skills and easy-to-follow plan you need to make both the revolutionary changes and nuanced tweaks required for success.\n\u003cbr\u003e\nPraise for Beyond the Obvious\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\"Human beings are creatures of habit, so getting ourselves and our teams to think beyond the obvious is a challenge we face all the time.
