Unit 10 · Quote
“The most serious mistakes are not being made as a result of wrong answers. The truly dangerous thing is asking the wrong question.”
— Peter Drucker · Which is what the framing question is for.

Lesson goals

By the end you will…

  • Frame a client problem the way a consultant does: hypothesis first, evidence second, recommendation on one page.
  • Use ARTICLES (a / an / the / zero) with precision — the difference between 'a solution' and 'the solution' is the whole meeting.
  • Use WORD-PAIR COLLOCATIONS ('pros and cons', 'short- and long-term', 'do's and don'ts', 'risks and rewards') to sound like a consultant, not a student.
