Topic 3 - Three State Thinking

Topic 3 -- Preamble

Three State Thinking

I mentioned that this introduction module would overview three of the four key concepts that are the governing principles of APT.

Before I explain Key Concept No. 3, let's do a quick recap of the first two Key Concepts. Key Concept No. 3, builds on these first two Key Concepts.

Key Concept 1 was that APT uses boxes to represent your ideas and other forms of thinking. Very simple.

Key Concept 2 was that APT follows strict rules when it breaks big things down into smaller things. We called this the Object Law. It says, The W _ _ _ _ is the sum of the P _ _ _ _.  Still fairly simple.

When I developed the procedure that has become Key Concept 3 , the power of the APT system took a massive leap forward. It provided a simple solution to a number of hard problems.

If you are like me, you most likely have to formulate plans for things that you do not fully understand. Key Concept 3 is an innovative technique that can enable you to prepare very effective business and project plans when there are a lot of unknowns.

So let's jump into the overview explanation.
