Closeness: The degree an individual is near all other individuals in a network (directly or indirectly) is defined as closeness |
| Explain the purpose of brainstorming | Technique for stimulating new thinking |
| Explain the benefits of using brainstorming | -Spark new ideas -ensure a comprehensive look at issues -raise previously “unknowns unknowns” -prevent premature consensus around a single hypothesis |

| Explain the purpose of alternative future analysis | Systematically explores multiple ways a situation can develop when there is high complexity and uncertainty |

Help to understand a problem by identifying plausible combinations of uncertain factors c. Broader analytic framework for calculating the costs, risks, and opportunities presented to policymakers by different outcomes d. Aids analysts and decision makers in anticipating what otherwise would be surprising developments for forcing them to challenge assumptions and consider possible wild cards or discontinuous events e. Generates indicators to monitor for signs that a particular future is becoming more or less likely, so that plans can be reassessed |
| Explain the purpose of quadrant crunching | Helps imagine the future by challenging assumptions and discovering “unknown unknowns” when little data is available |
| Explain the benefits of quadrant crunching | Useful for finding unknown unknowns and avoiding surprise |

Opinions: What someone believes to be true; may or may not be true c. Inferences: Conclusions drawn from facts, opinions, or other inferences d. Reasoning: Mental process brought to bear on facts, opinions, and inferences |
| -Explain the types of reasoning -List the two types of reasoning | a. Deductive: General premise to specific conclusion b. Inductive: Specific instance to general premise |
