🏗️ Project Management.
- One of applications of inversion is known as a Failure Premortem.
- It is like a Premeditation of Evils for the modern day company.
- It works like this:
Imagine the most important goal, now fast forward six months and assume the goal has failed.
Tell the story What went wrong? How did it fail? In other words, think of your main goal and ask yourself, “What could cause this to go horribly wrong?”
- This strategy is sometimes called the “kill the company” exercise in organizations because the goal is to spell out the exact ways the company could fail.

Be prepared for the worst
In his own life, Seneca practiced “the premeditation of evils”.
If, for instance, he planned a journey, he would go over the things that could go wrong - a storm, or an attack by pirates. This way, he was always prepared for disruption because he worked it into his plans.
