Notes

  1. 1.

    Strictly speaking, Pierre Wack is not really the inventor. He has further developed a technique that goes back to Herman Kahn, who introduced it in the RAND Corporation, an institute for futurology founded by the American Department of Defense, in the form of military simulation games. However, no one is as often named as the successful founder of this method as Wack.

  2. 2.

    If you are not yet familiar with the mind map tool, you can find a short introduction here: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mindmap.

  3. 3.

    For the sake of clarity, the diagram is reduced only to the most relevant points for the example. The original map was of course much more complex.
