You can use it to identify root causes, lessons learned, paths forward - everything! The funny thing about it is that the best definition of the "5 why" technique is "pretend you're a 4 year old".

My fist cold shower regarding how many people really understand "why" was when I started working in tech support. I then realized the how was not enough, people also needed to know why things happen in a certain way. Same goes for marketing, pr or owning a business. Many times we are trapped in the inside of our ideas that we forget to get out and see how it all looks for the outsiders (replace with clients, journalists, etc). Do they really understand why they should go one way or another? Hi Karen! My fist cold shower regarding how many people really understand “why” was when I started working in tech support.
