teaV Intuitive thinking can be as powerful and
accurate as analysis.
Y intuition can work advantageously in
challenging trends and patterns of the 21*
century.
¥ Intuitive and strategic thinking work hand in
hand.Greg Githens defined Strategic Thinking as the individual’s capacity for
thinking:
v conceptually — abstractions using analogy to translate across contexts.
comparing two things that are alike in some way.
v imaginatively — creative and visual
v systematically — composed of different components with interfaces
that interact to produce intended or emergent
behaviors, pattern finding, and connecting situations
that are not obviously related.
¥ opportunistically - searching for and grasping new information and
value propositions.
The strategic thinker applies all of these cognitive processes in the
orientation toward future success.Try to create an analogy by doing the following:
1. Describe your problem in terms of a story, a symbol, a natural
phenomenon, etc. For example: “The client is like a tornado —
he gets us going round and round and causes nothing but
destruction.”
. After describing the problem, determine the steps to be done.
Problem:
Story or Symbol:
Abstraction and Analogy:
Creative Solution:
The process above requires you to follow a pattern to creatively
address a situation. This involves strategic thinking.Intuitive Thinking is “quick and ready
insight”. Intuitive decision-making is far
more than using common sense because it
involves additional sensors to perceive and
_| get aware of the information from outside.
Sometimes, it is referred to as gut feeling,
sixth sense, inner sense, instinct, inner
voice, spiritual guide, etc.

SOME WELL-KNOWN PEOPLE OF INTUITION
1. ALBERT EINSTEIN (Theoretical physicist who is widely considered one of the
greatest physicists of all time; best known for the theory of relativity, Nobel
Prize in Physics for his explanation of the photoelectric effect and “for his
services to Theoretical Physics”)
The only real valuable thing is intuition.
There is no logical way to the discovery of these elemental laws. There is only
| the way of intuition, which helped by a feeling for the order lying behind the
appearance.
2. JOHN NAISBITT (Former executive of IBM and Eastman Kodak; American
writer in the area of future studies; author of several international best sellers
like Megatrends and Reinventing the Corporation)
Intuition becomes increasingly valuable in the new information society
precisely because there is so much data.
