Playful Reasoning What if you could think your way into unexpected insights? Some of the most powerful breakthroughs come not from sticking to the facts but from asking, "What if?" This mindset—what Gary Klein calls “Playful Reasoning”—is about leaping from what is to what could be. It’s a way of entertaining ideas we don’t yet believe to be true and imagining alternative scenarios to uncover hidden opportunities. Contrast this with concrete reasoning: a style that prioritizes facts and closure over exploration. While practical, it can stifle insights—especially when uncertainty can’t be fully resolved. Playful reasoning doesn’t just tolerate uncertainty; it thrives on it. So the next time someone asks, “But what if...?” lean in. That simple question might lead to your next great idea.
