Dr. Brian Glibkowski

Dr. Glibkowski, known as Dr. G, is passionate about the role of questions and answers in business and society.

His research on the six WH-questions (what, why, how, when, where, who) as a common framework for academics and practitioners to communicate and make decisions was recognized by the Association of Human Resource Development as one of ten articles that will shape the 21st century.   

He published academic research that examined how the top golf-instructors in the world provide answers.  The research resulted in a framework called Answer Intelligence (AQ)— the ability to provide elevated answers.  Dr. G is author of the book Answer Intelligence: Raise Your AQ (February, 2021).

Dr G. is an Associate Professor of Management, North Central College, Naperville, IL.   He is also CEO of Semplar Science, the company established to commercialize his research.

The Inner Circle

​The Inner Circle is the conventional phrase associated with trusted advisors, co-authors, and consultants. The "AQ" Inner Circle has extra meaning, reflecting the circular structure of the six sided AQ answer wheel.  Those in the AQ Inner Circle influence from the inside-out, embracing AQ themselves (inside) and evangelizing AQ to leaders and forward thinking organizations worldwide (outside).
