Tietoja tästä mallista

Force field analysis template

The Force Field Analysis tool was developed by Kurt Lewin. This Force Field analysis template will help you to evaluate the factors in a decision.

Type in the decision that you are making and the negative forces and positive forces that act on your decision or proposal.

Then, you need to review and compare the forces you have added to the template. You can add scores on each side of the map using our icons gallery.

Review and compare forces

Review and compare the forces in your map

Add up the scores on each side of the map. Which side has the higher score? If the decision is not clear, then:

  • What further information would help?
  • What can you do to strengthen or increase the positive forces?
  • What can you do to weaken or reduce the negative forces?


Add some ideas and actions to your map.

Decision or proposal

What decision are you making?

Type in the decision, proposal that or event that you are analyzing.

Kurt Lewin's Force Field analysis helps you make a decision by comparing positive and negative factors.

Miksi käyttää Mindomon miellekarttamallia?

Miellekarttojen avulla voit ideoida, hahmottaa käsitteiden välisiä suhteita sekä järjestää ja tuottaa ideoita.

Miellekarttamallien avulla alkuun pääsee kuitenkin helpommin: ne ovat valmiita runkoja, jotka sisältävät tietoa tietystä aiheesta sekä ohjeita kartan täydentämiseen. Malli antaa rakenteen, joka kokoaa yhteen aiheen kaikki osa-alueet ja toimii lähtökohtana omalle miellekartallesi. Se on käytännöllinen tapa luoda miellekartta tietystä aiheesta niin työelämän kuin opiskelun tarpeisiin.

Mindomon älykkäiden miellekarttamallien avulla ajattelet ja toimit vaivattomasti.

Malleissa on useita toimintoja:

  • Kuvailevat aiheet
  • Aiheet taustatekstillä
  • Oletushaara
  • Mallin tietojen poistaminen

Voit valita erilaisia miellekarttamalleja Mindomon yritys- ja koulutustileiltä tai luoda omia malleja tyhjästä. Minkä tahansa miellekartan voi muuttaa malliksi lisäämällä sen aiheisiin ohjaavia muistiinpanoja.
