CROP
I can say that understand and highly appreciate Bob’s thinking and knowledge processes.
"When two or more people collaborate to think about the same situation, we can refer to this as intellectual teamwork."
CROP - Communities Resolving Our Problems

"Relentless and accelerating change in our culture and communities requires equally relentless pursuit of ideas and systems that can address our problems and questions even faster than they emerge. The basic idea of the CROP web site is to discover (find and share), think about (reframe, refine) and solve these problems while learning and using the latest information technologies. The main branches at the top of the CROP web pages aid two audiences that seek to spell out and solve problems, individuals and communities. CROP's design also plans for an integration of school-based and work-based learning communities."
"CROP is a system for processing problems. In design, it is a general model for problem processing from K-12 into adulthood. It makes a clear distinction between problem processing and problem solving. Problem solving is just one sub-part of this larger problem process. The term community applies to a community of one (the community of interacting thoughts in one's own head) and to the communities of larger numbers of interacting people (within a classroom, work team, or state or nation, etc.)."
"The heart, the motor of CROP is questioning. This includes discovering, generating and sharing questions. Such skills are critical in order to move from surviving to thriving in this time of rapid change in the world. With CROP we have an ever-changing product. CROP serves as the foundation and set of solutions for organizations that wish to thrive and schools that wish to prepare learners for such organizations. CROP’s database products provide question management as a major aspect of Knowledge Management (KM)."

MAKING SENSE OF THE FUTURE, PAST AND PRESENT (Foresight Hindsight Insight)
"Perhaps the biggest challenge any human being or organisation faces, is how to make sense of their lives, and how to find meaning and direction for their activities. Sensemaking happens when sensible, meaningful explanations are built, evidence is extracted and linked to already existing structures, i.e. mental models, historical events, artefacts – or like in the case of this article – with a purposeful use of methods, especially constructed to do so. (March & Olsen 1976, Weick 1995, Porac & Thomas & Baden-Fuller 1989, Hopkinson 2001).
If we are unable to place a piece of information in context, the meaning of that information is lost. The ways we imagine the future, understand the past and come to grips with the present are extremely valuable in providing continuity and direction to our lives. Sensemaking is rooted in time and space, and occurs at the intersection of three horizons: past, present, and future."
