Strategic Analysis and
Intuitive Thinking
Define
Strategic analysis refers to a system or method
that requires deliberate, abstract, and effortful
thinking that breaks down a complex problem
into parts.
Deliberate thinking employs a detailed
examination of a problem to come up with a
solution. This involves looking at the context of
the problem. The amount of time and resources
are the primary factors in strategic analysis.
Intuitive thinking is “quick and ready insight”.
It is another approach to decision-making. This is the
ability to understand something instinctively without the
need for conscious reasoning.
Sometimes, it is referred to as gut feeling, sixth sense,
inner sense, instinct, inner voice, spiritual guide, etc.
Intuitive thinking is affected by how one feels and define a
thing or event. Particular norms and value systems within
a community are considered when making decisions.
Intuitive decision-making is far more than using
common sense because it involves additional
sensors to perceive and get aware of the
information from outside.
In dealing with everyday life issues and
situations, we are called to make immediate
decisions based on our ‘gut’ feelings and prior
knowledge and experiences.
In dealing with everyday life issues and situations, we are
called to make immediate decisions based on our ‘gut’
feelings and prior knowledge and experiences.
This type of decision-making is evident in various
situations: a doctor assessing an emergency case; a
teacher determining the reason for a child’s
inattentiveness in class; a buyer examining which
vegetable to buy; and a firefighter trying to rescue a
fire victim. In these cases, one would not hesitate or delay
making decisions because these situations need
immediate action.
