Explanation:
what is why why is what
1. Why?
Imagine you are an audience member:
Ask yourself:
‘Why should I listen?’
‘Why is this topic important?’
‘Why are you the right person to speak about it?’
‘Why now?’
Think of more ‘why’ questions pertinent to your topic.
2. What?
Ask yourself:
‘What’s the key message?’
‘What’s the big idea?’
‘What’s the theory or model?
‘What’s the key information or evidence they need to hear?
Write down any more you can think of.
3. How?
Ask practical questions such as:
‘How does it actually work?’
‘Can you explain the practicalities?’
‘How about some examples?’
‘Can we see some evidence to support your theory?’
‘Can you demonstrate it?’
4. What If?
There are two kinds of ‘what if’ questions.
a. Negative ‘what ifs’?
These are potential snags such as:
Risks in what you are proposing
Flaws in your argument
Counter-examples that might dilute or refute your case
Exceptional circumstances when your guidance would not apply
Such concerns might sound like this:
‘What if there is not enough in the budget?’
‘What if the scope of the project gets wider?’
‘What if the client doesn’t pay us on time?
‘What if I don’t have all that equipment?’
Think of your own questions specific to your situation.
Tip
Ask someone to play ‘devil’s advocate’ and think of the most difficult questions that could come up.
