Enhancing 3D Thinking for Better Decision-Making

Author Dr. Matthew Kutz delves deeper into the concept of 3D Thinking derived from his book, Contextual Intelligence, How Thinking in 3D Can Help Resolve Complexity, Uncertainty, and Ambiguity. He explains the importance of harnessing temporal skills including hindsight, insight, and foresight for informed decision-making and goal achievement. Drawing parallels between the 3D thinking model and Charles Dickens' 'A Christmas Carol', Matthew emphasizes the notion of becoming our own 'Christmas Ghost', i.e., learning from our past and using that knowledge currently for a fulfilling future. He suggests crucial questions to ask oneself and emphasizes the role of multiple perspectives to overcome inherent biases. One of the ways to practice these thinking skills includes 'time warping', cognitively manipulating past and future events, as well as 'time chunking', grouping time segments in hours, days, or months.
