“Mental models are the deeply ingrained assumptions, generalizations, or images that influence how one makes sense of and responds to the world. They are usually biased towards the past, and are often vague or based on faulty assumptions about the future. The mental models of key decision-makers should be assessed as early as possible in a strategic foresight activity—and continually reassessed. The aim, according to Wack (1984), “is to change the decision maker’s assumptions about how the world works and compel him to change his image of reality.”
