What are our assumptions?
Is speed more important than analysis?
Which decisions are reversible and which ones aren't?
What problems are caused by our resources and our allies?
Do we have to go from A to B or can we go from A to G and back to B?
How do we think of the project? Is it accurate to think of stages or would some other concept be more appropriate? Rivers? Seasons? Ship voyages? Rocket launches? Mountain climbs?
Do we have to be confident that the project will succeed before starting on it?
Is the outcome as important as the process? If we learn a great deal from the process, does the outcome matter?
What can be salvaged from earlier failures or from rejected ideas?
How would the following people have handled it?: Abraham Lincoln, Madame Curie, Attila The Hun, Don Corleone, Margaret Thatcher, Franklin Roosevelt, Anwar Sadat.
How can we turn the weaknesses into strengths?
What do we love about the strategy/product/service and what is the downside of that enthusiasm?
What are others noticing that we aren't?
Are we being so logical that we are underestimating illogical reactions?
