Fishbone Strategy

This strategy is extremely useful in fleshing out the details of Cause and Effect – in this example the causes of a car accident.

"Car accident" goes at the fish's nose as the Effect while the four large fin bones contain the main potential Causes. The smaller horizontal bones provide space to group further details under those headings.
