Intuition is the application of knowledge based on experiences, patterns and trends. "The only real valuable thing is intuition," Albert Einstein said, praising it as "the free invention of the imagination." He was able to conceive the theory of relativity by imagining himself perched on the end of a beam of light traveling through space. Central to Einstein's discovery was his capacity for creative visualization—the ability to conjure an image of a future reality that does not exist today, but which is an image so vivid that it appears to be real already.

Intuition is a quick, clear and full apprehension of a complex data set, an insight that in time unfolds to become the center of an evolving strategy that will transform a situation from its current reality to its desired future state.
