Companies pay amazing amounts of money to get answers from consultants or rely on focus groups, a dozen people riffing on something they know little about, to set strategies. What companies won't do is experiment to find evidence of the right way forward. Why? One reason is that experiments require short-term sacrifices for long-term gains. Companies (and people) are notoriously bad at making those trade-offs. Another is that there's the false sense of security that heeding experts provides. When we pay consultants, we want an answer from them and not a proposal for what experiment to conduct. As human beings, we tend to value answers over questions because answers allow us to take action, while questions mean that we need to keep thinking to work things out.
