Mental Models

Project Timeline for Making a Full-Blown Mental Model

I get to work with lots of teams at wildly different organizations in the course of my practice. It never fails to impress me that the people on these teams are brilliant, driven, humorous, helpful, and plain great to be around. I am in the lucky position of being able to learn just as much from these people as they learn from me. So it didn't surprise me that one of these people, Steven Dean, put together the most gorgeous timeline for a mental model project that I have ever seen. It comes complete with little images of deliverables from my book. I see it as a fantastic way to explain to someone how the project will work, and how all the pieces feed into each other. And now you can see it, too!

This is a great reference for a person who needs a checklist for implementing this process.


Thank you very much!

Thanks Indi for sharing Steven's work. It's very useful to visualise the actual process-flow of deploying mental model. I'll definitely cascade that to my team! :)
