Formal methods of business analysis and decision making are heavily analytical in nature, while approaches based on personal intuition & creativity are often ignored. Yet, research indicates that employees with dominant analytical side more likely end up in staff positions, while intuitive & creative thinkers generally climb to managerial and executive roles. Not only intuition matters, it may be one of the key ingredients for success.

The I Ching, “Book of Change”, is considered the oldest of the Chinese classics and throughout history has been referred to as a book of fundamental principles and wisdom. The book was consulted regarding specific questions and used as a guide to life’s turning points. The I Ching consists of 64 chapters, which serve as blueprints for key life events and their interdependencies. The consultations with the I Ching engage the intuitive mind and allow one to gain insights, which may not have been possible via the traditional analytical methods.
