Contextual Intelligence

More about the book

This book presents a structured framework for critical thinking and decision-making, emphasizing the use of hindsight, insight, and foresight to navigate complexity. In an era of rapid change, understanding the context of one's actions—termed contextual intelligence—enables individuals and organizations to respond effectively to both expected and unexpected challenges. The Three-Dimensional (3D) Thinking™ framework organizes critical thinking by integrating past experiences, present intuition, and future uncertainties. The author rationalizes complex concepts like tacit knowledge and synchronicity into accessible language, guiding readers on practical applications that yield measurable outcomes. Additionally, the book outlines 12 behaviors linked to contextual intelligence, categorized into three groups: four for hindsight, four for insight, and four for foresight. Each behavior is explored in relation to 3D Thinking, supported by relevant cases and anecdotes. Following each chapter, critical thinking questions and case-related inquiries prompt deeper reflection. The book also introduces practical tools to help readers evaluate and enhance their contextual intelligence, making it a valuable resource for navigating today's complexities.
