Finding
When finding a process is known in which a person or a group of people a cognitive process passes through and shared responsibility to a all satisfactory result or an agreed course of action brings. If there are different opinions, the finding goes far beyond a mere compromise or the result of an acceptable majority of votes . In contrast to the search as a process, which is completed with the discovery as an event, the discovery describes the progressive increase in knowledge ( finding one's own identity).
Finding with the aim of a knowledge
Finding with the aim of a knowledge can be a scientific knowledge process, legal opinion formation, for example in difficult judgments , ways to well-founded diagnoses or courses of action in medicine or market research , or the search for deeper spiritual knowledge - e.g. B. in Judaism the collection of responses to build up the Halacha , or in Christianity for biblical exegesis or interdisciplinary biblical research .
Finding suitable people
A finding process is even more important when it comes to the search for the most suitable person for a function or delicate task. Here the different perspectives of the individual group members - and their verbal exchange about them - become a particular advantage of the process when a good, constructive handling of differences and conflicts allows the common goal to emerge more and more clearly and in a wide variety of facets.
The search for suitable persons should not be guided by assumptions as to whether these person (s) would also take on the task. Play a major role
- the objectives of the council / group members
- and their mutual trust and openness,
- locating and naming the needs related to the respective task
- and especially the charisms (less the shortcomings) of the intended persons,
- whereby the emotions of group members should also have a certain space.
By exchanging these aspects, the goal of the finding process becomes increasingly clear and ultimately mostly unanimity is achieved. The found can person ascribe their charisma and confidence release large energy and their doubts perspective. If the finding results in several people , the final decision-making process can be prepared in subgroups or in a joint meeting.
The following procedures, among others, are used
- in the case of Marriage Encounter to find and commission periodically changing management functions
- and in other renewal movements for leadership and special tasks;
- in a similar way for a long time to find the next Dalai Lama
- and partly to find members of high courts or councils.
