The ability to challenge traditional assumptions and define new patterns and possibilities.

CONT

Greater commitment and enhanced ability to implement decisions and strategies are the natural consequence of participative planning. So is the increased portfolio of innovative ideas. By bringing together a mixture of people with different perspectives and through the use of consensus-building methodologies one allows for the emergence of what is called "Kaleidoscope thinking" - the ability to challenge traditional assumptions and define new patterns and possibilities.

OBS

The definition and the context are taken from Winning through Participation: Meeting the Challenge of Corporate Change with the Technology of Participation, by Laura Spencer, Dubuque, Iowa, 1989.
