In selecting this title, we were reminded of the wisdom of Russ Ackoff, who advised us on more than one occasion that "the questions are more important than the answers." We were also influenced by W. Edwards Deming, whose simple questions included "What business are we in?, What business will we be in 5 years from now, 10 years from now?"   Leading with Better Questions, as in all continuous  improvement efforts, suggests that questions can always be better and then better again, not bounded by an illusion of perfection.  As with the questions listed on our welcome page, better questions can foster a deeper reflection on the status of current efforts to work together, both within an organization, as well as with its customers and suppliers, the communities and environment, in which it operates, and the future, all elements of its system.   We believe that a greater awareness of our thinking and the assumptions behind our actions, will promote activities that minimize sub-optimization through a focus on interactions and not the "parts taken separately."   

And now, we ask you to invest a few minutes of your time for a glimpse of the many dimensions of our 2012 Forum website (with summary details below) and, considering what you will experience at our Forum, join us in April.
