The Creative Insight Council is a form of the Wisdom Council Process modified to improve the existing system more than to transform it. So the group might not really be chosen at random ... or it's only a one-time event instead of an ongoing process ... or the group presents its results to the  "decision-makers" rather than the whole system.  
Example #1

Example #2: The city of Bregenz Austria used a CIC to circumvent the usual partisan battle over developing its downtown. A random citizen group met with developers and city leaders and were then dynamically facilitated to determine an unanimous perspective. They reframed the issue to be "how to link the City to the Lake." Then they suggested a way to do it, by raising the base level of the proposed project from the ground to the second floor, which would allow citizens to walk over the highway and railroad tracks and then down to the lake. It was a win/win proposal now being implemented ... without the usual battles.

Then the second CIC is gathered. They review the story of progress from last time and again hear from stakeholders. They are dynamically facilitated in the spirit of choice-creating to evolve the ideas forward one more step. Again in the presentation, most people find themselves in resonance with the views expressed.

Example #3: In October 2011 the government of the state of Vorarlberg, Austria—including the governor, legislature and opposition party— convened a CIC on the issue: 

"Beyond Growth—How can we secure our quality of life?" This CIC of citizens presented their results to the elected officials in a ceremony held in the foyer of their building. It was everyone sitting around tables talking and smiling. (The event was live-cast on the web.) The CIC had sets of conclusions about the Future of Politics, the Future of Education and others and presented these conclusions to the assembled legislators and the media. The point was higher level of conversation that was sparked within the Parliament. Now, this process has been embedded into the Constitution of Vorarlberg.
