Here’s my hypothesis

Iyas A · Mar 5, 2021 ·

One of my favourite ways of provoking thought and discussion when I’m with a team is to come up with ideas, just shooting from the hip. Depending how well I know you, I’d usually preface it with “I’m just making shit up, but…”.

I was recently told that what I’m actually doing is “creating a hypothesis”.

I now feel a little more intellectual.

When we work together, you’ll know how close we are by whether I’m making shit up or creating a hypothesis.

And we’ll usually be having a bit more fun (and getting to better answers) when it’s the former.

Have a great weekend…
