Back-Casting

back-casting is when we stand at the end of an outcome, reflecting on the events and outcomes that lead to the outcome

Benefits

• Is more effective than standing at the start and looking forward
• Prospective hindsight (imagining the event has already occured and looking back at it), increases the discovery of reasons for future outcomes by 30%
  • Just like setting goals, as we plan what we want the outcome to be and work towards it
    • Infinitely better than doing nothing and not making any progress
