ASQ  | STUDIO  

Who in the world would make you ask stupid questions to find out smart answers?  That’s us at INVENT!  Learn more about this highly popular methodology (and its workshops) that unleashes out-of-the-box ideas in an energetic, humorous, info-training and creative manner. 

Ask Stupid Questions^TM (or ASQ) is a practical methodology to create original, innovative ideas for any issue and or solutions to any problem.The more “stupid” or unconventional the question, the more original the idea that will be generated. Using these questions as a base, participants will brainstorm and arrive at innovative solutions that can be further developed into profitable projects or resolve organisational issues and challenges.

The ASQ workshop uses a fusion approach where techniques from theatre and art, mixed with music and games are adapted into an irresistible, no-holds-barred game show format, where participants are energised to share, create and innovate.
