Asking the Right
Questions
B Y T J J O H N S O N
I
've always been known as the "What About?" person. Through my days as IT Director of a
law firm, managing the law department of a global life insurance company, working with
many IT Leaders across the legal industry in my work at ILTA, and now as legal strategist
at an IT services and consulting firm (Olenick), I've been the one asking "Why?" and "Why Not?"
Being inquisitive has helped me fill in context and lead successful, creative problem-solving
projects. I've honed my provocative questioning skills over time, and now I share ideas on how to
ask the right questions, at the right time, of the right people, and in doing so, help lead your legal
organization into a successful future.
