In continuation of what I have had posted earlier about developing an opportunity mindset, here's my next viewpoint strategy, particularly within the context of my proposition:

"Be curious about the world around you and learn to see it from many different perspectives."

Viewpoint Strategy ~ SEEING BEHIND:

This is essentially learning from your past experiences.

The past does not guarantee the future, but you can certainly learn a lot from it, if only you spend time and make effort to evaluate it:

This is how best to go about it:

Questions to Ask and Ponder:

1) What worked?;

2) What didnt work?

3) Could I have explored a different course of action?

4) Did I have adequate support and/or resources? If not, what were the shortcomings?

5) What would work better, or faster, or smarter, the next time around with a little bit of tweaking?

6) What course corrections do I need to make in my life in order for me to move forward from here?;

In the field of project management, where I have had been involved for several decades of working in the corporate world, there is a proven methodology to use in reviewing past work, called Postmortem Analysis.

A quick one: 

It's just an opportunity for all the people involved to get together and discuss how the project went:

• was it a success?
• did the outcome meet your goals?
• was the project easy to achieve?
• were there any roadblocks or inefficiencies?
• what are the opportunities for improving in the future?

These discussions are imperative for continued growth in any organisation and improving the way your team works together.

To sum up, the viewpoint strategy of seeing behind essentially gives us the capacity and capability to explore opportunities, while drawing from our hindsight, so to speak!
