We offer coaching and
training on expert modeling,
creativity and innovation.
What is Expert Modeling?
Technological breakthroughs are rarely matched by increased human competence.
As technology advances, most people are getting left behind. This unpleasant
trend can be reversed by Expert Modelling, which aligns human learning with
technological innovation for competence and productivity.
Unconscious competence is a defining feature of expertise. Expert Modeling
trains people to develop unconscious competence by duplicating the beliefs,
values, attitudes, heuristics, mental processes and physical activities that
characterize expertise.
Expert information is usually distributed
throughout a system. Instead of collecting as many data as possible, Expert
behavioral modeling can collect and integrate selected information and interpret it
for a purpose. Expert Modeling determines what knowledge to retrieve and
how to use this knowledge.
As many systems have rules about members discussing and interpreting the
rules, systemic analysis may only be possible from an external agency. This
may be the real value of a systemic therapist to a family or of a systemic
consultant to an organization.
Expert Modelling combines systemic coaching,
accelerated learning, value theory, typological
analysis, behavioral psychology, systemic therapy, management science and
chaos theory.
What is Learning?
You learn as you acquire experience.
- Adaptive learning - you learn to adapt (or react) to your
changing environment.
- Generative learning - you learn not only to adapt - you also
learn to change how to perceive (or assess or measure) your changing
environment.
- Evolutionary learning - you not only learn how to act and
perceive, you also learn how to change your identity (or transform or
transcend) to survive in your changing environment.
You may call your remembered experience knowledge - an abstract
summary of your experience. Gaining and managing knowledge is a multi-level
process of "capturing" experience and structuring it for future use.
You can model expert experience for replication. See
knowledge management
Outer & Inner Modeling
Outer behavior (physiology) can be directly observed. Eliciting inner
behavior requires intensive interviews. Inner behavior includes identity,
values, beliefs, strategies, sensory acuity and metaprograms, which can be
synthesized into testable models of competence. Expert Modeling
identifies, decodes and duplicates process competence. (Most educators
simply duplicate content competence). The key elements of Expert Modeling are:
- Relationships -
- Identity - perception of self, purpose and sense of life
- Values - abstractions of importance - things to seek or avoid
- Beliefs - perceived rules of causality and appropriateness
- Strategies - sequences of actions and subjective sensory
experiences
- Sensory acuity - ability to represent and discriminate sensory
information
- Attention - moment by moment focus of subjective attention
- Metaprograms - patterns of mental processing, behavior,
attention and thinking
- Physiology - posture, pulse rate, muscle tone,
blood pressure, balance etc
- Heuristics - strategies for solving new or unknown problems
Generative & Integrative Modeling
Active elicitation may may cease when all relevant strategies of
an expert are known. An expert model may be used "as-is"; an expert
model may be streamlined (generative modeling) or a group of expert strategies may be
combined (integrative modeling).Expert Modeling includes:
- Systemic diagnosis to define the system, its
context and its relationships
- Goal Path analysis to define the desired changes and
their consequences
- Model the system and sub-systems as sets
of entities
- Formalize, list and describe the phenomena for each entity
- Formalize the control of production flow and information
flow
- Prepare a simulation protocol with simulation results as propositions
- Test every step and check whether the overall strategy is
effective
Expert Modeling - Summary
Expert Modeling transfers key aspects of competence. It also
enables managers to recognize and select people with beliefs, values and
strategies similar to those of experts - and coach these people to develop
competence quickly, and retain expertise longer.

Expert Modelling improves individual and team performance, improves employee
selection, assists equipment design and reduces training duration. Expert
Modeling is a key part of systemic coaching.
