Between foresight and systems thinking

The Glossary / Observation

Observation

What you observe today, before your idea: what is happening, for whom, and on what scale.

  • Mandatory: it comes before your “what if”.
  • Checked: the Capteur checks it online, strips out any solution smuggled into it and says whether it is confirmed, needs qualifying or is fragile.
  • Confirmed by you: it then guides the mission, the pathways, the starting context and the measure.

This word comes from Le capteur de possibles, where you meet it while exploring your own “what if”.
