    The Kipling Method

    The Kipling method uses a series of questions (What, Where, When, How, Why, Who) to explore problems or ideas from different perspectives. Asking these questions challenges current perceptions and generates new ideas. This method can help see problems differently, generate ideas, and select ideas for development by gaining a deeper understanding. Users work through the questions individually or in a group, answering them honestly and concretely to evaluate strengths and weaknesses from multiple views. A facilitator ensures all questions are thoroughly addressed to benefit the project.

    always challenge your current perceptions and force yourself to ask new questions. This method could
    be helpful when you need to see the problem from different perspectives or when you would like to
