Foreground Processes

Foreground Processes control our “hard” abilities - those activities that reside within our awareness and can be executed through our intentions. Foreground processing is familiar, teachable, and informational.

Foreground Processes control what is known management achievement. They manage activities that are based in explicit knowledge. Thus, strategies, operations activities, and financial controls are all management topics executed by foreground processing. Management techniques have benefited from a century of effective development. As a result, the level of achievement of foreground-based management techniques is very high. While improvements will continue to be made, progress has reached a point of diminishing returns. The rich storehouse of management techniques is easily available through books, articles, seminars, and College programs.

Foregrond Processes can initiate Background Processes. Unfortunately, Background Processes frequently undermine our intentions to execute Foreground Processes.
