Discovering new structures can change perspectives and lead to new actions
In the KJ method, the emphasis is on concrete and specific relationships rather than abstract concepts. This approach seems to encourage more detailed and grounded thinking. What kind of outcomes have you seen from using this method?
Sometimes we have prejudice in category. By using this method, you collect the concrete relationship between things, observation, and thought. After that you will find there is an unknown structure you didn’t notice.
That’s an intriguing outcome. Using the KJ method to focus on concrete relationships can reveal new structures and connections that might have been overlooked with more abstract categorization. How do you feel when you discover these unknown structures? What impact do these discoveries have on your understanding or approach to a problem?
Finding new structure change our perspective and then we can find new action to change the situation.
That sounds like a powerful shift. Discovering new structures can change perspectives and lead to new actions.
