Dimensional thinking and doing

.

What is important, valuable and relevant for you, your organisation or your enterprise?

What are the patterns that arise from the interests we have?
What are the principles we live by from the values we hold?
What are the human-based processes we create from the goals we have?

Dimensional thinking and doing help us navigate reality by showing us how dimensions interact and create the context we live in.

The advantage of thinking in dimensions is that it does not pin us down to one fixed value. It highlights that quite a few exist before and after the value we are experiencing now. It allows us to improve.
The second advantage is that dimensions allow much more connections between points on the dimensions, creating a more prosporous world for us.
Thirdly. The former two create many more possibilities to find intersections between people's positions.

(Active) Experiential (thinking)

.

Experiential is a far more rich concept than experience. Experiential is in the first place about creating the proper context where people can start learning. Inducing a sole dominant narrative becomes a burden if it is not adaptable to changing situations because between purpose and productivity stands a relational process. This process is about the intended active use of memory, knowledge, thinking and imagination to compass primary experiences to create a model of a foreseeable future. This includes, among other things, Bayesian, complex, systems, causal and model thinking.

Being human, we tend to treat our experiences through one of these four perspectives:

A constructivist perspective holds that what we experience we can conveniently group in sets of manifestations
A diagnostic perspective holds that we divide what we experience into latent classes underlying the manifestations
A dimensional perspective holds that what we experience we measure with latent continua
A causal systems perspective holds that we experience causal networks consisting of manifestations and direct causal relations between them
