Sam: “There've been particular times we've landed and noticed there's forks in the road so it has felt like a point in time, and not points you could’ve plotted because they occurred due to reflection and learning and what we were in.” Catherine-Rose: “I find it such a helpful term rather than something about choice feels limited somehow but choice point feels like something you could plot on a map. And that it would be visual in a way, or something that would help people to see there were options and different paths and navigations, rather than choice A, B, C on a list. Something more organic.” 

In this episode Amanda (Inquiry Comms Officer) is joined by Catherine-Rose Stocks-Rankin [or CR for short] (Inquiry Co-Chair) and Sam Anderson (Inquiry Co-Chair) to explore the concept of choice points. Choice points start from questioning an alternative route, and then emerge to shape the direction of the forward journey.
