Keith, I like your approach! and also agree with Terry. In my view,
intentions/attentions arise as wants and needs arise from an immediate
situation after non-conscious pre-interpretation of its information .
Selection of what objects and organizations to attend to follows
until election of a formal meaning, plan of action, and predictions
lead to actions that result in outcomes responsive to the motivating
wants and needs. tThe pursuit and satisfaction of intentional goals,
always begins with attention and moves forward as you suggest. It is
on the other side of selection, the execution, evaluation and learning
that follow, that support future interpretations of immediate
circumstances. This is how I see A Theory of Design Thinking
agreeing with your approach.
Warm regards,
Chuck
