Initiatecontextualization

 Being fluent in contextual logic aids people in understanding what’s relevant and what’s not.

An open business ecosystem has all its interdependencies and hyperconnectivity; for complex problem-solving, understanding context is often the first and one of the important steps to make a more lasting solution. 

In professional practice, contextualization is about broadening the understanding of a specific cause and effect in a specific context, capturing the chain of association, bridge the art and science in decision-making and problem-solving.

Gaining interdisciplinary understanding of the business context: Contextualism is about broadening perspective, working through the context across the boxes to shape the new box of thinking for capturing unique insight. Many problems are interrelated; it's important to see interconnectivity between the things, rather than isolated issues, broaden variety of perspectives, learn fresh knowledge, have interdisciplinary understanding of complex issues comprehensively for discovering the underlying logic and explore different solutions fluently.

Understanding the interconnection of past, present, and future for exploring the root causes of issues: History gives people many points of view, lessons learned, and allows them to identify any gaps or dangers that make the forward view unrealistic. To perceive the actual reality objectively today, the past is like the rearview, you need to look at it once a while; proactively listen to diverse perspectives, overcome bias by appreciating different viewpoints and capture fresh insight.

Seeing the context you are part of, allows you to identify the leverage points and then, choose the decisive factors, take acute awareness of present contextual variables, in order to make sound judgment. To predict the future with a certain level of accuracy, besides information precision, the highest level of future sensitivity comes from appreciation of contextualization.

Context is a chain of associations, to shape a holistic view dynamically: There is scientific logic in contextualization; there is also artistic intuition in context. It's like when you contemplate a work of art; you don't get the whole picture immediately. It has to grow one piece by piece dynamically. Understanding a work of art and designing it is a learning process; involving intuitive logic.

The implications of art effects on the perceiver reach beyond the visual. It could also trigger a chain of associations, with contextual meaning cognitively, aesthetically, psychologically, etc. The artist’s creativity is fresh, unique; the artistic expression is contextual, insightful, influential. You see it in another context, or you might see the influences of another domain colliding with the expected domain.

Being fluent in contextual logic aids people in understanding what’s relevant and what’s not. From a practical perspective of either making tough decisions or solving complex problems, , 'seeing' the context you are 'part' of, allows people to broaden perspective, see relevant parts, bridge art and science, identify the leverage points, and then, choose the decisive factors, in the attempt to achieve the set purpose.
