Default The KJ method
Thanks AL.
I had a look at the link. The puzzles are cool.
The KJ method is quite clearly a form of Mind mapping.
I have used this method many times yet, I haven't called it the KJ method.
I went through this method with ten angry employees in a room trying to brainstorm, I don't ever want to go through that experience again. I'd rather sit in front of my PC and play with some software.
Wallace.

Your right Al, the KJ Method is an Affinity Diagram. And "KJ" is Kawakita Jiro the guy who is credited with inventing the method.

This sounds like the same method we used back in the day (80's) with TQM. We would gather in a room, place a large C&E diagram on the wall, then give everyone a handful of cards. They would then write down causes and place them in the appropriate place on the diagram.

I was watching a psychology program two nights ago on Kentucky educational TV. They went through the illusions on the site linked to above. It was mainly addressing 'brain processing of information' and dealt a lot with the role of visual cues and how expectations play a large role in 'what' we see vs. reality. Some of you may remember a video some years back titled: "Paradigms: Discovering the Future". It was put out by Joel Barker and Ray Christenson. If you haven't seen this video - you've missed a good one.

Yeah, Sam. We did a similar thing when I was working on airbags at GM. We also had multiple charts - one of . I enjoyed it, actually. Heck - that was years ago.
