Blackout in Berlin!

This case study is written from the perspective that you, the readers, are members of a select task force established by the German Chancellor who has asked the task force to determine how a major blackout occurred that had significant impact on Germany – and to recommend what to do about it. The case study showcases how SATs (Key Assumptions Check, Starbursting, Mind Mapping, Cluster Brainstorming, Multiple Hypotheses Generation, and the Inconsistencies Finder™) could have been used by you and your team to solve the problem. Dates, locations, and (company) names have been changed in this case study. However, it is based on a true event.
