3D Thinking: Hindsight, Foresight, & Insight

In this episode, the host, Dr. Matt Kutz, discusses part three and Chapter 8 of his book, 'Contextual Intelligence'. He introduces the concept of three-dimensional thinking using the '3D Thinking Framework' comprising hindsight, foresight, and insight. Hindsight leverages past experiences, foresight is future readiness, and insight is mindfulness of the present.

Matt explains the importance of integrating these three time orientations into decision making, and their impact on leadership effectiveness. He also discusses the implications of overemphasizing one time orientation over others. Matt suggests that equal importance should be given to all three perspectives for successful decision making. He concludes by explicating how practicing this 3D thinking can help flip VUCA - Volatility, Uncertainty, Complexity, and Ambiguity into Vision, Understanding, Clarity, and Alignment.
