Key Insight

Negative drivers (fears/pains) are often more powerful than positive ones. Loss aversion: people work twice as hard to avoid pain as to pursue equivalent gain.

📖 Heritage

Based on Effect Management (Mijo Balic & Ingrid Domingues, inUse Sweden) and Impact Mapping (Gojko Adzic) https://www.impactmapping.org
