Meta Cognition for Business Communication

Meta Cognition mean thinking about thinking.

What this means is that thinking about how you come to a conclusion. It means thinking about the assumptions which were the basis of your way of thinking. By questioning your assumptions, you can see how you come to the conclusion.

People always use assumptions when they make decisions. However, people sometimes assume that those assumptions are given and there no other alternative assumptions. This blind spot is what sometimes be the cause of organizational downfall.

By actually thinking about how you think, you are basically playing what strategists like to call "war games", which means thinking many steps beyond, and try to see every probable event that might happen. Doing this will help prepare you of what might happen and think ahead of what actions should be taken should the event materialize.
