Tracing Processes to Explore Causality

 This post introduces a conceptual model for exploring causality by tracing structured processes. Beginning with a framework and MECE-based analysis, the model guides the development of individual processes and their interconnections. It emphasizes how systematic decomposition leads to clearer causal reasoning, especially in complex or adaptive environments.

Modeling Based on 後正武 『意思決定の​ための​分析の​技術』

Entity Name Description
Framework A conceptual structure that defines the scope, boundaries, and initial logic of analysis.
MECE Analysis A method for decomposing elements into mutually exclusive and collectively exhaustive categories to ensure clarity and completeness.
Process A defined sequence of actions or operations derived from structured analysis.
Process Network An interconnected system of processes that reveals causal relationships and systemic dynamics.

By tracing processes through structured decomposition and network mapping, this model offers a practical lens for understanding causality in dynamic systems. It supports both analytical rigor and design flexibility, making it applicable to strategy, operations, and systems thinking.
