Three Whys, Three Times (Stanford Social Innovation Review)
Unlock the power of systems thinking with this deceptively simple yet powerful tool: the Three Whys.
Designed for teams (but could be used in all kinds of strategic discussions), this exercise starts by asking:
“Why do we care?”
“Why is this happening?”
“Why hasn’t it been solved yet?”
It’s a conversation catalyst, not a quest for perfect answers—leaning into uncertainty to surface overlooked assumptions and realign priorities, while sparking deeper reflection on purpose, root causes, and hidden barriers.
