This is a technique oriented at solving problems.
The approach is to ask a series of why questions to understand the problem at hand and to find a solution to the basic cause.
Here is an example to demonstrate how:
Why didn't I make it in this exam?
A: Because I couldn't attempt all the questions.
Why couldn't I attend all the questions?
A: I was bit mentally prepared to face the exam.
Why wasn't I mentally prepared?
A: I hadn't faced enough exam like situations beforehand.
Why?
I hadn't written enough mock exams.
Ok, maybe every problem may not find a single answer to every why question that follows, but the technique is incredibly useful in locating the root cause and finding a solution. This technique was apparently developed by the Toyota management, to deliver business solutions.
I read about this from an Android app. Hope u find it useful.
