Story in Six Frames

I use six frames for making sense of social complexity--how people take action together.

See Story Structure

NFP, AIC, 6 Qs, Sofi-VSM, Patterns, IAD with the Institutional Grammer.

The first three, NFP, AIC, 6 Qs are easy to grasp, easy to use, always revealing and should be taught everywhere.

Sofi-VSM and IAD are for exploring, diagnosing, and working on organizations (institutions).

Patterns are for sharing usable knowledge with others.
