In life, in business and in your career, asking the ‘Why’ question is what achieves progress. Asking ‘why’ creates breakthroughs. Asking ‘why’ creates innovations. Asking ‘why’ solves problems.

Every major financial institution is currently asking itself the question “Why?”

(Aside from the obvious “Why did we ever get into the sub-prime business?!”)
