Reframing Critical Thinking Skills (CTS) for Group Decision Support Systems (GDSS)

Integrative thinking is a field that was developed by Graham Douglas in 1986. It is defined as the process of integrating intuition, reason, and imagination in a human mind to develop a holistic continuum of strategy, tactics, action, review, and evaluation. This may be achieved by applying the SOARA (Satisfying, Optimum, Achievable Results Ahead) process to any problem. The SOARA Process facilitates finding associations between what may have been regarded as unrelated parts of a problem.

Integrative thinkers differ from conventional thinkers in many dimensions. They tend to consider most variables of a problem to be salient. Rather than seeking to simplify a problem as much as possible, they are inclined to seek out alternative views and contradictory data. They are willing to embrace a more complex understanding of how those salient features interconnect and influence one another, a more complex understanding of causality. Rather than limiting the possible causal relationships to simple, linear, one way dynamics, they entertain the possibility that the causal forces may be multi directional (i. e. circular) and complex. Integrative thinkers approach problem architecture differently. Rather than try to deal with elements in piece parts or sequentially, they strive at all times to keep the whole of the problem in mind while working on the individual parts. When faced with two opposing options that seem to force a trade off, integrative thinkers strive for a creative resolution of the tension rather than simply accepting the choice in front of them.
