The Foundation Framework
The basis of the frameworks to be developed here is found in the determination of exactly that human beings generate. Of course, they produce variants according to the industry or discipline. And then human inventiveness leads to variants, embroidery and combinations.
Before going any further, it is well that you meet these methods in a stripped down fashion. There will be plenty of opportunities in topics to follow to get a far more detailed grasp and personal feel for these.
This Matrix should give you a feeling for the seven methods.
| Name | Aim | Core Process |
Emphasis | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| L'7 | Imaginist
|
To relieve disquiet | Developing inspiration | What enables personal growth? |
| L'6 | Structuralist
|
To maximize accountability | Assigning accountability | Who is responsible? |
| L'5 | Systemicist | To improve organizational effectiveness | Triggering balanced development. | What is a useful model of the situation? |
| L'4 | Dialectic
|
To resolve conflicts of interests | Finding compromises | What payoff will satisfy each party? |
| L'3 | Pragmatic | To get action for some gain | Seizing opportunities | What can I do easily now? |
| L'2 | Empiricist | To resolve problems | Using information | What are the relevant facts? |
| L'1 | Rationalist | To achieve objectives | Setting purposes |
What are our aims? |
Now, especially if you are an employee and a manager, you must make this framework personal, as part of getting oriented.
- So go here before plunging into further details of each method.
