Morphological Analysis

What It Is: A technique that breaks a problem down into its basic dimensions and then uses those dimensions to generate a wide range of possible solutions or scenarios.

When to Use It: For complex problems where you need to explore all possible solutions or outcomes.

Step-by-Step Guide:

  1. STEP 1: Define the problem’s dimensions (group, activity, method, impact). (Beebe and Pherson, 2015, p. 404)
  2. STEP 2: Combine dimensions to generate alternative scenarios and refine them. (Beebe and Pherson, 2015, p. 404)
