The goal of curiosity is to further one’s understanding, yet research shows that only about 5% of team members consider curiosity to be a skill that is valuable for organizations in the future*. Curiosity, “the strong desire to know or learn something” is what helps people seek achievement and further develop their mindsets. It invites feedback. In the context of an organization, it’s what helps a business improve its capabilities and analyze satisfaction gaps for its customers. The lack of curiosity in organizations is a sure way to maintain the status quo and reduces its ability to pivot quickly.
Agility is based on curiosity. An agilist’s superpower is their curiosity that leads them to ask questions to spark reflection and learning. In this talk, Patricia Kong, Product Owner of Enterprise Agility at Scrum.org, explores how to use curiosity as the building block for growth. She shares how Evidence-Based Management thinking can help integrate a curious culture into all levels of the organization focusing on helping management embrace curiosity and avoid the mindset that leads them to think they must have all the answers.

Key Take-Aways. – Curiosity is a human characteristic that diminishes because of our environments but it can be rekindled to help us individually develop meaningful lives as well as contribute to community and society. – In organizations, power and innovation can live at the “top” of an organization if the value of curiosity is not communicated and appreciated at all levels of the organization. We must make that transparent as successful organizations are rooted in curiosity as agility is based in curiosity. – An empirical way of leading, which requires one to be curious and open is most probably the only sustainable leadership approach for achieving strategic goals in today’s world. Considering gaps, like the satisfaction gap in Evidence-Based Management, is one way to think about this from an outside-in perspective.
