About this Presentation
This presentation was given by Guilherme Almeida. In the past few years strategy and tactic trees (S&T) re-emerged as a powerful tool to guide large projects like Viable Vision (VV) ones. The cause-and-effect logic is apparent in the S&Ts, but it is not clear how the S&Ts relate to the thinking processes (TP). This presentation maps the logic and communication used in the TP and the S&Ts to their roots and reconnects these two thinking tools. The presentation covers where the TP intersects with the S&Ts and where they don't, what the boundaries and applicability of each are and how they should be used in concert.

There is a gap between thinking processes and SMTs, and bridging this gap is a complex task due to the sophistication of both sets of tools.
Cause and effect thinking plays a crucial role in integrating thinking processes and SMTs.
Existing models have limitations and there is a need for more comprehensive models that can better integrate thinking processes and SMTs.
