It’s particularly risky to be wrong about your structured thinking skills.
Good grades and earned degrees don’t prove your mastery of metacognition.
Structured thinking is a systematic metacognitive process for breaking down complex, unstructured problems into manageable “thinking parts.”
How structural is your structured thinking?
You may have convinced yourself your thinking is structured enough. It’s probably not.
AI thinkbots continuously learn better ways to use structured thinking’s principles and practices in their algorithmic metacognition machinations.
Thinker-doers exploring the metaphysics of metacognition with
@EnclaveAcademy are guided to ThinkToThink™ with AI-fortified structured thinking. Do you?
Successful structured thinking in the AI era prepares us for whatever “thinking era” follows AI.
Trust something’s next—beyond AI. AI’s working in and on that “beyond”—whatever it or they may be.
For today, A.S.A.P. ThinkToThink™ to learn and practice steps of structured thinking.
Take your “thinking about your thinking” to higher-order thorough thinking (HOTT) that’s HOTTer than HOT—higher-order thinking (HOT).
Structured thinking’s thoroughness is the difference between HOTT and HOT.
Enclave Academy prioritizes for thinker-doers lifelong microlearning in—and macrodeveloping of—life-sustaining
#StructuredThinking skills.
ThinkToThink™ with the Efficiency of Structured Thinking (ST)
ST Reduces time spent on "noise" and focuses attention on what matters most.
ThinkToThink™ with the Clarity of Structured Thinking
ST helps communicate complex ideas powerfully to stakeholders.
ThinkToThink™ with the Creativity of Structured Thinking
ST provides boundaries and guardrails within which innovative thinkings through “thoughtings” to thoughts can build on one another.
ThinkToThink™ with the Structure of Structured Thinking
ST acts like a mind map to guide your attention to reach solutions faster and more effectively with metacognitive analysis for:
➡️ Sense-making,
➡️ Meaning-making,
➡️ Decision-making, and
➡️ Difference-making.
💡 ThinkToThink™ to Define the Problem with ST
Clearly state the issue in a single sentence using
#CriticalThinking’s quantifiable terms for ST questioning: who, what, where, when, why.
💡 ThinkToThink™ to Break Down Complexity with ST
Use "issue trees" or "mind maps" to disassemble the main problem into smaller, solvable sub-questions. These are among many metacognition maps you can use for ST.
💡 ThinkToThink™ to Identify Root Causes with ST
Move beyond symptoms to find the underlying drivers using tools like the Fishbone Diagram.
💡 ThinkToThink™ to Prioritize and Solve with ST
Focus on the most impactful elements. Try using the Pareto Principle to ThinkToThink™ to develop actionable solutions.
💡 ThinkToThink™ to Evaluate and Iterate with ST
Assess the effectiveness of the solution you’re envisioning and “think-tweak” it (refine it) as necessary.
Search with your BFF thinkbot for ways to “think with” and apply ST techniques and models:
1. The Pyramid Principle
2. MECE Framework
3. The 5 Whys
4. Cynefin Framework
5. 8D Methodology
6. Pre-decision metacognition (PDM)
