Who should I hire?)<\/em> and a set of answers to those questions (<em>We\u2019ll use this strategy. I think we should hire this person.)<\/em>. There are many times when you have questions without answers&#8230; but what about the times when you have a set of answers without questions? How is this possible? And most importantly, how can such a paradox help you think critically about the future of your business in new ways?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"text-align:justify\">Let\u2019s start with an example that is instantly recognizable for many science-fiction fans. In Douglas Adams\u2019 science-fiction tale <em><a rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/The_Hitchhiker%27s_Guide_to_the_Galaxy\">The Hitchhiker\u2019s Guide to the Galaxy<\/a><\/em>, the number <strong>42<\/strong> is known as the answer to the \u201c<strong>ultimate question of life, the universe, and everything.<\/strong>\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"text-align:justify\">Unfortunately, no one knows what ultimate question needs to be asked to obtain an answer of 42. Despite possibly being the most important information ever known in the universe, 42 has no real value to the protagonists of Adams\u2019 story, because the question tied to 42 is unknown.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"width:100%;\" src=\"https:\/\/www.42gears.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/Answer-42-6-ways-of-planning-your-company\u2019s-future-using-answers-without-questions.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-43339\"><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"text-align:justify\">You might be wondering, <em>How does this relate to my company<\/em>? Anyone in the position of being a decision-maker for their company sees advertisements for \u201cbusiness solutions\u201d on a daily basis. Just like the number 42 in <em>Hitchhiker<\/em>, some of these \u201csolutions\u201d might claim to be the answer to all of your company\u2019s questions, even though such solutions do not immediately seem relevant to you. In this case, the \u201canswer\u201d appears to you without a corresponding \u201cquestion.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"text-align:justify\">Here\u2019s the twist: you can go one step beyond Adams\u2019 characters, and come up with your own questions based on the answers that appear before you. By generating (and then answering) your own questions, you can determine what is important to you, and insightfully plan for your company\u2019s future.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"width:100%;\" src=\"https:\/\/www.42gears.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/Adam-with-tea-6-ways-of-planning-your-company\u2019s-future-using-answers-without-questions.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-43372\"><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"text-align:justify\"> This kind of thinking might seem paradoxical, but we think it makes more sense with a few real-life examples.

The most immediate cost might be the loss of worker productivity, but there are other costs. The cost of transporting a member of your IT team to the computer, or shipping the computer to your IT team, is tremendous. Your IT team also loses time that could be spent more productively, and you will also need to pay for the IT admin to travel back to their home office (or for the computer to be shipped from the IT department back to its owner). Finally, there is also the risk of false alarms; if someone labels something as broken, wrongly, a lengthy repair process will be a waste of everyone\u2019s time.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"text-align:justify; background-color: #fff2f2; border-left: 4px solid #0ECACA; padding: 24px;\">\n<p style=\"font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 0px;\"><span style=\"font-weight: bold; color: #0ECACA;\">The insight:<\/span><em> 42Gears\u2019 solution provides a solution for minimizing the true cost of repairs for computers, and your company can take additional measures to reduce the frequency of needed repairs. <\/em><a rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.bbc.com\/worklife\/article\/20161219-tech-issues-kill-productivity-but-dont-rush-to-call-it\"><em>By building employees\u2019 technological literacy and encouraging them to troubleshoot on their own<\/em><\/a><em>, IT admins have fewer requests to contend with.

This scenario invokes a broader question that can be more difficult (but more rewarding) to answer. <em><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<center><h2 style=\"font-size:16px;\">Question: <em>If someone breaches corporate policy, intentionally or through negligence, how can you respond in a diplomatic but prompt fashion?<\/em><\/h2><\/center>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"width:100%;\" src=\"https:\/\/www.42gears.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/Wipe-Devices-6-ways-of-planning-your-company\u2019s-future-using-answers-without-questions.png\" alt=\"\"><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"text-align:justify\">Even if an otherwise perfect employee loses a business device, this employee has committed a breach of corporate policy. This is only one of many ways that company devices might become liabilities. The issue at hand might be a deliberately reckless act such as connecting phones to compromised Wi-Fi networks, for example, or using company phones for both personal and business uses in ways that jeopardize the safety of trade secrets.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"text-align:justify\">You may feel inclined to focus on disciplining the employee, but your most urgent task is mitigating the threat created by the employee. If you discipline the employee without first addressing the technical side of the issue, you may appear hasty to your employees; if you delay disciplining the employee until the technical issue has been resolved, you may appear to be careless or disorganized to your employees.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"text-align:justify; background-color: #fff2f2; border-left: 4px solid #0ECACA; padding: 24px;\">\n<p style=\"font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 0px;\"><span style=\"font-weight: bold; color: #0ECACA;\">The insight:<\/span><em> With 42Gears\u2019 UEM solution, you can lock devices remotely, enabling you to neutralize risky device usage quickly.

This enables businesses to avoid the \u201cworst case scenario\u201d of someone tampering with a device. Still, this does not guarantee the \u201cbest case scenario\u201d of a productive employee or engaged customer.

As many businesses know, when you invest in a big way in a particular operating system or hardware configuration, it can be very difficult to move away from that system or hardware years later.
