Contextual Intelligence cover

This book presents a structured framework for decision-making and leadership in turbulent environments, focusing on the Three-Dimensional (3D) Thinking Framework™—the use of hindsight, insight, and foresight—to navigate complexity. 

Contextual intelligence helps readers respond to rapid changes in organizational and personal settings. Dr. Kutz’s 3D Thinking Framework™ and R4 Process™ (recognize, reorder, respond, reflect) integrate past insights, present intuition, and future aspirations into problem-solving strategies. 

Kutz simplifies complex concepts like VUCA (volatility, uncertainty, complexity, ambiguity), synchronicity, and tacit knowledge into actionable insights. This updated edition offers expanded content, practical examples, and new chapters on behaviors linked to contextual intelligence, enhancing 3D thinking. 

Full of cases and anecdotes, each chapter concludes with critical thinking questions and tools to assess and enhance contextual intelligence, guiding leaders in mastering complexity and leading with confidence.
