CONFRONTED.”

Foresight to Insight to Action
“This process of sifting, grouping, synthesizing, and evaluating is very important to sort out what is possible an to begin to think through the virtues and constraints of the various possibilities. Typically, a Foresight to Insight to Action Workshop is not focused on deep consensus or decision making. Rather, the focus is on generating possible insights and beginning to prioritize them. Full evaluation of the insights typically comes later, with a smaller leadership group.” p. 132
