HMW: Turning Problems into Possibilities

We introduce the concept of "How Might We" (HMW) questions as a powerful tool for innovation.

The first episode, "The Three-Word Revolution," explores the historical origins of HMW questions, tracing their development from Procter & Gamble in the 1970s, through academic roots with Sidney Parnes, to their institutionalisation by IDEO and their widespread adoption by companies like Google and Airbnb.

It highlights how the words "How," "Might," and "We" collectively foster optimism, defer judgment, and encourage collaboration.

The second episode, "Anatomy of a How Might We Question," then offers a practical guide to crafting effective HMW questions, introducing the "Goldilocks Principle" to explain why questions must be neither too broad nor too narrow.

It demonstrates how to refine questions by focusing on specific user needs and employing positive, optimistic language, concluding with a four-point litmus test to assess the quality of an HMW question.

An extensive overview of Mel Robbins' "The Let Them Theory," a popular framework designed to help individuals reclaim control over their lives.

At its core, the theory operates on a two-part system: "Let Them" encourages releasing the need to control others' thoughts, feelings, or actions, while "Let Me" shifts focus to one's own controllable responses and behaviours.

This approach is grounded in psychological research, including Stoicism and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, and aims to reduce stress by acknowledging the futility of trying to manage external factors.

Practical applications are explored across eight key life areas, such as relationships, workplace dynamics, and personal growth, with numerous real-life examples illustrating its use in diverse scenarios from heartbreak recovery to parenting.

While acknowledged for its transformative impact, also mention its limitations, particularly in situations involving abuse, stressing that it's a tool for emotional regulation rather than passive acceptance of serious issues.
