Contextual Intelligence

For Competitive Business and Impact (Strategy)

Introduction

Context affects outcomes, but outcomes can also affect context. Recognising factors at play in any given scenario (whether they are historic, current, or projected) is an essential step towards achieving a desired outcome and reframing the context in which it will appear. Contextual intelligence is an essential management tool in dynamic market environments, and requires inputs ranging from cultural and diversity awareness to empirical data and statistics.
