Creative solution using Intuitive thinking

Intuitive thinking is the ability to understand the reality without using logical reasoning. It uses years of experiences
and your senses to create solution to a certain problem in the community.
Intuitive thinking can actually create solution without using tool analysis as long as there’s a lot of experiences and
expertise and at the same time social networks can be used to create solutions.
A social network is a set of social actors (such as individual or organization, institutions) in a social structure that
interacts with each other. In the map of social networks, it helps us to examine and understand situations which can
identify problems/threats in a certain community, since these networks are interrelated. Institutions like politics,
economic, cultural and even kinship ties help to examine and identify problems in making creative solutions.
