'''Framework thinking''' is a method of [[problem solving]] and [[decision making]] that involves using pre-defined structures, or frameworks, to analyze situations and develop solutions. It's about structuring your thoughts and approaching complex issues with a clear, organized approach, rather than relying on intuition or guesswork. This allows for more efficient and effective decision-making, especially when dealing with complex or unfamiliar problems."<ref>[https://www.google.com/search?sca_esv=d5e847b1dc31b2cb&sxsrf=AE3TifOgpvyHebUgEuZHOQHQdOUW8ddNHQ:1754416493257&q=what+is+framework+thinking&source=lnms&fbs=AIIjpHxU7SXXniUZfeShr2fp4giZ1Y6MJ25_tmWITc7uy4KIepxPkVkiyvcVCXrRQKSfjcQaZDIJ_rZS9U2lXSeywwkxGF9iupk9JR4G4Cql0k_6uJQxVLJWb0WDtbgAmr-vSux9vcXafMz1Q_-RizfPPFz8WAyUQ1zy4eJeG-4qu5zqEbe2DnlaeFA0F--5_HYCJ0QMjqUaNZdJB92Xok0rBNMyNK-dCw&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwjkn_nenvSOAxUp6ckDHUUgJRIQ0pQJegQIDxAB&biw=1920&bih=917&dpr=1 What is framework thinking?]</ref>

[[SWOT analysis]] (A framework used to evaluate strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats in a business context) and the 5 Whys (A technique for identifying the [[Root cause analysis|root cause of a problem]] by repeatedly asking "why") are examples of framework thinking.
The book ''[[The Decision Book: Fifty Models for Strategic Thinking]]'' provides 50 frameworks/mental models for [[decision making]] and [[problem solving]].
