Try with a conversation starter

Has anyone tried solving this before—and what happened? What can we learn from failures or missed opportunities in this domain?

“What lessons can we borrow from how others navigated a similar transformation? Who’s done this exceptionally well before, and what can we adapt from them?

Which historical pattern might be repeating itself here?

What similar challenges have other organizations or industries faced? Are there best practices or research findings that support or contradict our approach?
