People's thinking process, is a wonderful process, thinking in the mind of the itinerant, rampage and repeated entanglement, and finally twisted into a group of hemp. So people often complain, the head is very messy, can't think of a clue. This is because most people's thinking process is disorderly, illogical, and finally can not form effective precipitation, but also can not find a clear conclusion. So this article to tell, is how to visualize the thinking of the regular, the final systematic precipitation down to find a valuable direction. In fact this kind of visualization rule, not only can use in the work, uses in the life also.

Most people with the most active brain, often before bedtime, squatting in the toilet, at this time your head like a documentary Flash back to various parts of life, but also to explore a lot of life problems, but when people ask you, just what you think? You'll find your head suddenly blank, what did I think? seems to think a lot, But I don't remember. Unless you have the idea of convincing yourself in this aimless brainstorming, it's hard to remember what you're thinking, so most people are wasting their time with worthless waste.

Good logic people, often good at summing up, the complex wrapped up, the finishing of the shining point exposed, like a hub, all kinds of clues into the box, the important plug exposed.

Leaders like to speak 3 points. It's not as easy as it is to be handy, it requires plenty of preparation ahead of time. Many people who say 3 points are thinking ahead of time and are prepared. Of course, some people do not rule out the talent is different, can be in the extreme time, quick thinking and summary, mention the value of 3 points. It's a difficult thing, and I rarely do it, but in order to embody my own logic, sometimes I would say, this thing can be summed up in the following points, 1th, 2nd, 3rd ... You can say a few things, but you can always get over it.

I have an interview here when I will ask the more representative logic questions, please state your three strengths, each with three examples of each advantage, each example not more than one sentence. This requires a candidate to summarize and refine in a very short period of time, which is a very logical test.

The visualization of thinking in design is a process of thinking from disorder to order. Not all people are born with a good logic, but fortunately, logic can be trained, as long as you understand their own thinking to visualize the display, analysis and collation.

Diffuse thinking model is most people's thinking model most of the time, from an idea diffuse into, thoughts into a variety of cruising, and then rambling divergence, if fortunate to find some value points from the middle, it can only be said to be lucky. But the thought of brainstorming, like brainstorming, is also true for this branstorming model, because brainstorming really needs to look for direction from infinite possibilities. So this model of thinking is not useless, but the application of different scenarios, do not need to visualize.

Poly-thinking model is a small number of people who are good at logic analysis of the thinking model, they are good at first Divergent, and then screening possible, and then aggregated into a reliable direction, and then specific refinement. Thinking is a funnel, and finally the idea of settling down is screened through layers. And the person who can control oneself to refine from divergence, is good at controlling the thinking person, this kind of person can not depend on the visualization of the thought completely, think clearly a lot of things.

But the fact is that most of them can not be achieved after the rational extraction and induction, so this case, or rely on the method to visualize the thinking, after visualization, convenient induction, collation, refinement, refinement.

The following is the 4 class model--1 of thinking visualization. Radial regularity (mind map, Fishbone diagram) 2. Hierarchical rules (frame composition, organization Chart) 3. Linearized regularization (path map, Timeline) 4. Matrix rules (SWOT analysis, business model canvas)

1. Radial regularity

Let the thought start from one point, and form a radial divergence. This rule is mainly used to organize a variety of possibilities, to facilitate divergent thinking, and can be in-depth excavation of each of the possibilities.

Mind Map (Mindmap) is a method of materialization of radioactivity, the simplest and most effective way of thinking, and the most widely used thinking tool in the world. We know that radioactive thinking is the natural way of thinking in the human brain, every kind of information that goes into the brain, whether it's feelings, memories, or ideas--including words, numbers, symbols, smells, food, lines, colours, images, rhythms, notes, etc.--can be a center of thought, and this center will spread out thousands of joints. , each joint point represents a link to the central theme, and each link can become another central theme, and then spread out tens of thousands of joint points, presenting a radioactive stereo structure.

Fishbone maps (incorporated and multiplying diagrams), also known as causality diagrams, are an analytical method for discovering the root cause of problems. is by the Japanese management master Mr. Ishikawa invented, so also known as Ishikawa map. Its characteristics are simple and practical, in-depth intuitive. It looks a bit like a fish bone, with problems or flaws (i.e. consequences) marked outside the "fish head". A fishbone is grown on the fish bones, and the above opportunities to list the possible causes of production problems can help explain how the various causes interact.

2. Hierarchical structured

Hierarchical rules are used to excavate structural relationships and to examine the state of things in depth.

The schema diagram (ORG sponsor) is a thinking visualization tool that decomposes the structure of a thing through a tree graph, typically digging deep from the parent to the subset. Although the topology of the way is similar to the mind map, but the structure is not for divergent thinking, but in order to explore the structure of the relationship between the existence, so the importance of the hierarchy can not be overlooked, generally are top-down to rigorous topology, not to do no value expansion.

This hierarchical chart is used to show clear grouping information and to express clear organizational relationships.

3. linearized Normalization

Linear rules, generally have a clear line, this line can string up the whole thinking process. For example, time is the axis, such as set a good starting point and the end of the middle can occur in all things, such as the flow of tasks around a user's goals and so on.

Path Map (roadmap) is a task-checking method, set a good user goals, starting point and end point, to troubleshoot all the things that can be audible in the middle, for each important key node design. This way of thinking visualization is generally used in the goal-oriented things, determine the various possible paths to achieve the goal, and select the shortest path.

The timeline (timelines) is used to describe all the milestones that occur within a time period, or it can be used to develop a project plan based on timelines. The past is placed on the left side of the timeline, the future is on the right side of the timeline, and all the things that are based on the time node and what is planned to happen are highlighted. This is a great way to make a milestone or project plan.

4. Matrix type regularity

Another structured way of thinking is the matrix rules, first think about the need to think about the several major latitude, and then precipitation into a matrix of latitude, and then to the Matrix to supplement the specific content, this way is used to do highlighting content of the discussion.

SWOT analysis is a commonly used strategy analysis tool, SWOT analysis represents the analysis of enterprise advantages (strength), disadvantage (weakness), Opportunity (opportunity) and threats (threats). Therefore, SWOT analysis is actually to the enterprise internal and external conditions in all aspects of the content to synthesize and generalize, and then analyze the advantages and disadvantages of the Organization, the opportunities and threats facing a method. It can be analyzed to help businesses focus their resources and actions on their strengths and where they have the most opportunities.

The business model Canvas contains 9 component modules, key partners, critical business, core resources, value propositions, customer relationships, channel paths, customer segmentation, cost composition, and revenue sources. By thinking about the content in these 9 modules, you can easily map out your project's business model and help investors understand your project Panorama. Business model plan is also suitable for use in individuals, but only 9 of the composition of the module made a number of adjustments, I also in the Baidu Mux to lead the small partners to do a personal business model set up to help small partners to find their own strengths and weaknesses, learning-oriented projects and leading-type projects.

Finally, I would like to say that the most advanced way of thinking is that all divergence, summary and precipitation are formed in the mind, but most of them do not reach the level of this kind, so we have to use the visual way to train their own way of thinking. In addition, even if you think the way is very cow, if you can not visualize the presentation of others, it is difficult to ensure that ordinary people can understand you well. So whether it is thinking cow or thinking ordinary people, need to know how to visualize their own thinking.

Then summarize the 4 class model--1 of thinking visualization. Radial regularity (mind map, Fishbone diagram) 2. Hierarchical rules (frame composition, organization Chart) 3. Linearized regularization (path map, Timeline) 4. Matrix rules (SWOT analysis, business model canvas). In fact, the model also has thousands, concrete use of different models, or invent new thinking model, rely on savvy.
