"Why do we always make decisions the same way?" "Why do we always make decisions the same way?" "Why do we always have the same opinions in the room?" "Why do we always end up choosing the safest option?" Have you ever experienced this? Especially when it comes to big decisions, it's easy to get stuck in a rut and miss out on truly innovative alternatives.
I saw a really interesting decision-making process at a startup the other day. They were discussing a new product launch strategy, and the CEO started with the question, "What would we do if we were our competitor?" This prompted a whole bunch of different perspectives and led to an innovative strategy that no one had thought of.

Prompt.
