Great piece, Francis! I've just been rereading 'A Beautiful Constraint' by Adam Morgan and Mark Barden, which posits that insights come from 'a propelling question', which binds a bold ambition to a significant constraint.

The same principle drives Peter Compo's 'Emergent Approach to Strategy' which treats the 'aspiration' and 'bottleneck' in the same way to derive a compelling 'strategy'.

I also like how you're bringing the Ai concept of 'prompts' to the human side: "I’ve found that leadership teams can be 'prompted' to generate their own breakthrough insights. How? By structuring an insight-oriented workshop."
