Model thinkers - resource with infographics of many approaches to thinking/critical reasoning

 Via LinkedIn this morning, a link to a good resource on 'model thinkers'.

The resource provides infographics on a large number of 'mental models' as guides to be 'smarter, faster'.

The infographics are categorised into themes: 

Learn and achieve, collaborate and lead, make better decisions, deliver value, live well, industry knowledge. Each is further broken down into sub-themes, for example for industry knowledge into - creative, design, education and training, engineering, military, sales, science, technology, project management, finance, economics, entrepreneurship.

Some of the infographics are only accessible for members only but most of the 'mainstream' models are available for all.

Models include ADKAR change model, deliberate practice, hero's journey, prisoner's dilemma, SCARF, 5 whys etc.

Therefore a good 'one-stop' shop if you are keen to try other approaches to nutting out problems and challenges. 

Each model (when accessible) provides a brief overview explaining the origins and precepts of the model; a list of 'actionable takeaways'; and a 'toolkit' or worksheet/template to assist the carry through of the 'actions'.

Overall, useful for moving out of the rut and providing resources of 'pick and mix' problem solving.
