Abstract
Designing is question intensive. However, our knowledge of the role of question asking in design is limited. The research presented in this article is a summary of the significant findings of a doctoral dissertation that addresses this limitation (Eris 2002). When the findings are considered together, they constitute the conceptual framework of a question-decision centric design thinking model.
