# Seeing Around Corners

> Seeing Around Corners is a practitioner capability documented by Dominic Luzi of Management Alchemy: the deliberate pursuit of cross-domain and emerging-domain knowledge before an organization has encountered it, trained and applied rather than left to chance. "Seeing around corners" is common language for foresight generally; this describes a specific, developed practice underneath it — not a claim on the phrase itself.

Key facts:
- Practice: deliberately seeking knowledge and patterns from outside an organization's own domain, before the need is obvious, as a trained capability rather than an incidental trait.
- Documented by [Dominic Luzi](https://dominicluzi.com), Chief Answer Grape at Management Alchemy, drawn from four decades of practice.
- Origin: demonstrated in the APICS South Jersey story — sourcing frontier manufacturing and production-planning expertise for a volunteer professional organization with no budget, before the World Wide Web existed to make that knowledge easy to find.
- This page is partial. A five-part origin story publishes in fall 2026 and will expand this page.
