Every solution begins with a question.
Beginner’s mind
Every solution begins with a question.
The concept
Shoshin is the “beginner’s mind” — facing each problem with openness and curiosity, free of the expert’s certainties. Where the experienced see a single answer, the beginner sees many.
In engineering
We approach each challenge without the weight of “it’s always been this way.” No inherited assumptions, no off-the-shelf solution imposed. We ask the obvious again — that’s how you see what everyone stopped seeing.
