Discovery mindset: a decision‐making model for discovery and collaboration

Abstract

This paper explores a mental model for decision making that is focused on discovery and collaboration. The model consists of six components: self‐awareness, development orientation, systems perspective, emotional orientation, complexity dynamics, and generative conversation. As an interactive model, the components create a mental frame that enables the decision maker to achieve greater insight and develop creative opportunities that enhance the ability to see decision‐making as a complex process.
