Comparing Related Frameworks

 

This section includes Frameworks that follow a standard taxonomic flow and bear superficial resemblances.

The starting point here is the use of language-PH'5 as explained in the THEE Path.

The derivation begins with formulating methods of managing (a Q-Typology), goes through strengthening managing in the face of complexity in discrete Stages (a Q-Spiral), and on to the hierarchical management structures in organizations (a Q-Hierarchy)—which are the «levels of work» to be considered in this section. (There are other Q-structures as explained in the Guide.)

As names for these related frameworks are rather similar: a tabular summary is provided below.

Note: Additional alternative names are needed for levels in the PH'5QH2 column e.g. to focus on needs to be met or responses to be made.

  Types that are discrete and independent, and can be used in any situation. Modes with cumulating principles: higher depend on lower. Full-time interacting roles, whose weight demands personal capability. The construction of reality that is relevant to using a Type, Mode or Role.

Similarity of names may be misleading. The main horizontal correspondence in this Matrix is in relation to the green use of language columns. While stages in strengthening organization does correspondto hierarchical structuring, any method of managing work can be used by any role at any level of management.
