Induction

The model contains the successive, interdependent elements of logical thinking, with which any logical thinking process can be described.

The concept in brief

  1. The elements follow a fixed order, but if necessary we can go back to a stage; for example, the analysis may show that more information is needed, so we start a new measurement process.

  2. The concept presents the standard of logical thinking and can be applied successfully in any planning process. The question corresponds to the definition of the task, and the output in this case is an elaborated proposal or statement, which may also take shape in a plan.

  3. In teamwork, the individual stages may be carried out by different people.

  4. The vast majority of our thinking processes are logical thinking processes, and the model is suitable for standardising them.
