On our own behalf: The “Ask a question” button

Since yesterday morning, there has been a “Ask a question” button in the right-hand column of this page. An experiment. Read here why this is the case and what you can do with it.

Open exchange!

Anyone who knows me personally knows that I consider open exchange to be a very valuable asset. This does not mean that I want to have a say everywhere, but rather that I do not categorically reject any exchange. I have often experienced how someone has forgiven themselves a great deal by refusing. Even in business.

When we work together, share information and try to open up new perspectives, we become better at what we do. Everyone benefits. That is the open source approach.

Institutionalization of the exchange

This is where the aforementioned button should come in as an experiment. It should make the exchange with me a little easier and more transparent. So you can simply ask me a question. And I promise that I will take the time to answer each one sensibly. Not that I know better or that I want to be an “expert” (much criticized by me). Keep it. No, it’s about the dialog. To gain new impressions and perspectives.

Rules?

The rules are simple:

• 1. Any kind of question is allowed. Be it questions about digital transformation or perpetual disruption, agile management, start-ups and business development or an assessment of the digital economy. Or if you are looking for something or someone specific for a project or venture. Anything is possible. You can also ask me what you want to throw on the barbecue at the weekend.
  2. I may post the question (and the answer), anonymized or not, on the blog as an article.
  3. At a time of my choosing, I may ask you a question and you take the time to answer it.
  4. Apart from that, there are no obligations or costs.

And while I’m at it: Thank you very much!

This blog has developed from nothing in a short space of time and now has several thousand regular readers. Every day (!) I receive feedback, questions and suggestions about my ideas and often very high-quality input. This enriches my life and my work. Thank you very much for that! I’m as happy as a little child every day to receive exchanges and impressions. And I am amazed. Amazed at how what is actually intended more as a self-therapeutic measure is spreading far and wide. Keep going!
