Welcome to a very special mini-series on The Inner Game of Change. I’m thrilled to take you on this journey as we explore something both timeless and practical: Mental Models for Managing Change.

Now, before we get into today’s topic, let’s quickly revisit something we mention in every episode — what is a mental model anyway?

A mental model is a way of seeing — a framework that helps us interpret complexity, solve problems, and make better decisions.
You can think of it like a map or a lens. The clearer it is, the more confidently we can navigate uncertainty.

In our last episode, we explored the OODA Loop — a model that helps us respond quickly and wisely when change is moving fast and unpredictably.

Today, we are building on that, because once you have figured out how to adapt quickly, the next challenge is dealing with sheer size and complexity.

That is where today’s mental model comes in — Chunking.
