Means-end analysis

Using a means-end approach basically means looking at a target, which is the starting point, and figuring out the best way to get from point A to point B by breaking down the list of issues to make them more feasible on a daily basis.

Pinpoint the desired result and describe it in a few lines.

Before taking any actions, add some pre-conditions with a short description that will support you attain the final outcome.

Because any situation has two sides, positive and negative, take into consideration the challenges that may occur while trying to shift from the current situation to the target one. Finally yet importantly, shortly explain your current status.

Target outcome

Name the target outcome


Begin by identifying the target outcome in a few words and press Enter.

For example, you might be aiming to increase production capacity, so this would be your target outcome.

Pre-conditions and actions

Condition

Add a condition before 'Target outcome'

What are the pre-requisites or conditions before you can reach 'Target outcome'?

Add a short description of a condition that must exist before you can reach 'Target outcome'. Remember to observe the constraints that you listed.

Example:

Condition or action

What needs to be done before you can reach 'Condition'?

If this position is reachable from the current situation, then you can type in the next action instead.

If 'Condition' is already an action that can be done, then just press Enter.

Example: if 'Trained operators' is an intermediate step, then the pre-requisites could be:

Add a condition or action before 'Condition or action'


What needs to be done before you can reach 'Condition or action'? What are the conditions of reaching this position? If this position is reachable from the current situation, then you can type in the next action instead.

If 'Condition or action' is already an action that can be done, then just press Enter.

What needs to be done before you can reach 'Condition or action'? What are the conditions of reaching this position?

If this position is reachable from the current situation, then you can type in the next action instead.

If 'Condition or action' is already an action that can be done, then just press Enter.

Action

What needs to be done before you can achieve 'Condition or action'?

If 'Condition or action' is already an action that can be done, then just press Enter.

Constraints

Constraint

Add a constraint that limits what you can do in moving from the current situation to the target situation.

A constraint may be:

Current situation

Describe your current situation

Add a line describing where you are now.

Target situation

Describe the target situation


Add a line describing where you want to be in the future.

Perché utilizzare un modello di mappa concettuale Mindomo?

Le mappe mentali aiutano a fare brainstorming, a stabilire relazioni tra i concetti, a organizzare e generare idee.

Tuttavia, i modelli di mappe mentali offrono un modo più semplice per iniziare, in quanto sono strutture che contengono informazioni su un argomento specifico con istruzioni guida. In sostanza, i modelli di mappe mentali garantiscono la struttura che combina tutti gli elementi di un argomento specifico e servono come punto di partenza per la vostra mappa mentale personale. Sono una risorsa che fornisce una soluzione pratica per creare una mappa mentale su un particolare argomento, sia per il lavoro che per l'istruzione.

Mindomo offre modelli di mappe mentali intelligenti che consentono di lavorare e pensare senza sforzo.

Un modello ha diverse funzionalità:

Argomenti descrittivi

Argomenti con testo di sfondo

Ramo predefinito

Rimozione dei dati del modello

È possibile scegliere tra una varietà di modelli di mappe mentali dagli account aziendali o educativi di Mindomo, oppure creare i propri modelli di mappe mentali da zero. Qualsiasi mappa mentale può essere trasformata in un modello di mappa concettuale aggiungendo ulteriori note guida a uno dei suoi argomenti.
