Precision Questioning Precision Questioning (PQ) and Precision Answering (PA) are tools for doing two things: improving the efficiency of a business conversation and raising the level of critical thinking. PQ & PA provide a discussion format that sharpens questions, tightens answers, and makes it easy to ask follow-up questions.
PQ enables frontline employees to attack problems more aggressively. For managers, PQ helps squeeze the risk out of milestones. Executives appreciate the fact that PQ builds skill at PA, which is essential for the efficiency of boardroom reviews.
