When we encounter chaos, we look for ways to overview the situation, manage it or combine it with reality, see through it, or decomplexify it.
Models and frameworks are essential to represent value and focus on what's important.
Yet, they are not defined to tell how we should think but represent our active thought process.
In this process, models and frameworks help us visualize a situation, envision reality, design a concept, define or organize a system, and simplify different aspects of a given topic.
I've spent almost two decades studying and exploring how models affect our decisions.
One point is clear: models and visual representations help us fulfill our work and be pragmatic, assets that we most need during chaotic times.
How do you describe the process of making a decision during uncertainty?
How do you represent yourself in a complex situation?
Three book references to help you make decisions, visualize and grow:
