Abstract
: 
"Visible Thinking shows you how to create causal maps for individuals and groups, and thereby to capture the power and broad applicability of casual mapping in a business, as well as a personal, context." "The causal mapping process is illustrated through a series of real cases - from tackling personal problems to strategy-change issues in business, public and not-for-profit organizations. The cases are used to present a comprehensive set of process guidelines designed to help you create your own action-oriented causal maps."--BOOK JACKET.
