A futures wheel is used to examine the possible consequences of a particular trend, event or action, and to identify the cause and effect relationships of these consequences. The idea, action, trend, or event to be examined is placed in the centre of the diagram and lines are drawn outward, connecting this central idea with a number of possible results, which appear to be direct or first-order consequences. From each of these first-order consequences, double lines are drawn outward connecting secondary associations, or second-order consequences. The process is then extended by using triple lines to join each second-order consequence to a number of third-order consequences. The process is continued to generate fourth, fifth and sixth order consequences and beyond.
The diagrammatic representation of the above and some other interesting diagrams can be viewed through the following link :
