Multi-screen-scheme

The Multi-screen scheme of thinking

This tool is used to have a better view of the system (global view) to be analysed through its MUF.

It is a good strategic tool, and must be used in the very early stages.

The structure

There are nine cases represented. In reality it can have more cases, by adding an axe

3 axes

• • The horizontal axe: Time axe.

    • The left column: the past

    • The central column: the present

    • The right columm: the future

The time between left and central column, and between central and right column must be equal

• • The vertical axe: Systemic axe

    • The top line: the super systems (past, actual, future)

    • The central line: the system (past, actual, future)

    • The bottom line: the sub systems (past, actual, future)

  • The Z- axe (perpendicular to the 2 other): Anti-system axe

On this axe, we define what are the anti-systems to the system. What system will be able to stop the evolution of the system

The process

• 1. Put the actual system on the central case.

  2. Identify the different parameters of the system, and their values

  3. Make the same job with the past system (stages 1 and 2)

  4. Identify the evolutions of the parameters between past and actual: stable, increase, decrease

  5. Make the same job (from 1 to 4) with the super-systems, and with the sub-systems

  6. Identify anti systems, and its parameters

  7. Make a projection

     • How will the super-system evolve ? Without super-system, there is no system. So verify that your super-system will exist in the future...

     • How will parameters evolve?

       • For she system

       • For the super system

       • For the sub system

All these hypothesis will give you the way to the solution.

For the future, don't forget to use ideality, laws of evolution,...
