Intuition
“…tacit knowledge that has been acquired and assimilated through: a)long years of explicit learning in school, college, university and professional training;b)the implicit learning which takes place in real world practice.
Tacit knowledge and skill that cannot be described or explained easily (we can ‘know more than we tell’).”

IT’S POWERS AND PERILS
David Myers, Intuition
“When we experience intuition we come rapidly to a feeling of confidence in a judgement in a way that is difficult to articulate but which manifests itself as ‘gut-feelings’, ‘hunches’ or ‘vibes’.
The process is unconscious and involuntary…they [intuitive judgements] arise spontaneously, are rapid and are accompanied by feelings of certitude (so much so that some critics have remarked acerbically that intuition is ‘sometimes wrong but never in doubt’). “
“…the best and most successful organizations of any kind – are the ones that understand how to combine rational analysis with instinctive judgement.”
Blink, Malcolm Gladwell

Abundance, Asia and Automation:
1.We have access to and own too much stuff2.In 2006 – Pink’s research revealed that one in ten jobs in the U.S computer, software, and information technology industry will move over seas in the next two years and that by 2010 - one out of four IT jobs will be offshored3.Routine work is being automated: Turbo Tax, decision trees for accurate and quick diagnosis of illness, CompleteCase.com
To thrive in this new “conceptual” age, individuals and organizations must examine what they’re doing to earn a living and ask themselves three questions:
1. Can someone overseas do it cheaper?2. Can a computer do it faster?3. Is what I’m offering in demand in an age of abundance?

The National Institute for Play believes that as play is woven into the fabric of social practices, we will dramatically transform our personal health, our relationships, the education we provide our children and the capacity of our corporations to innovate.
