Each window is reviewed on time-scales to best plan for future solutions and ideal outcomes to ensure that the system, super-system and sub-system develop to achieve the ideal solutions.

When brought into a team, a team construct is developed. Once our thinking freezes in place the friction of innovation and growth ceases to happen. You are bound by individual construct of reality. This is the continual practices, prejudices, experiences and beliefs (false and true) you contain within your brain.
