“Strategic Questioning is a process which invites our ideas to shift and take into account new information and new possibilities. It awakens the suppressed possibilities of change embedded in each person, in each institution, and in each society." Fran Peavey

Strategic Questioning can be used with your allies and adversaries to open new paths for change.

See http://www.crabgrass.org/strategic.html for more information.
