This is not a manual - it's an outline of what we do. This
series of articles merely map or represent some of our skills. A map may be
frustrating if you feel lost and you need immediate solutions for pressing
problems. However, you can talk with us by telephone or
Skype.
What is Expert Behavioral Modeling?
Technological breakthroughs are rarely matched by increased human competence.
There is always a time lag. And, as technology advances, many people feel left behind. We
can help people reverse this unpleasant
trend by aligning human learning with
technological innovation for increased competence and productivity.
A defining feature of expertise is unconscious competence in
which people can let their bodies or subconscious minds do most of the work.
Consider riding a bicycle. Maybe you haven't ridden a bike for years, yet
if you rode a bicycle as a child, probably you still have the skills of
balance and coordination immediately available - even though you may be unable
to explain to someone how to stay balanced on two thin wheels. It's much
easier to demonstrate.
We
train people to develop unconscious competence by modeling and duplicating the beliefs,
values, attitudes, heuristics, mental processes and physical activities that
characterize expertise. Copying external behavior is relatively easy - just watch
and imitate. We help people duplicate inner behavior and expertise!
Expert information is usually distributed throughout a system. It's not in
one place. Instead of collecting as many data as possible, we collect and
integrate selected information, and then interpret it for well-defined purposes.
First we define the goals - and then determining what knowledge to retrieve and
how to use this knowledge ... in what sequence.
Many systems have rules about members discussing and interpreting the
rules, hence the requisite systemic analysis may only be possible from an external agency.
Members of a human system usually avoid displaying their ignorance about their
system! The real value of our contributions to couples, families and organizations
is to evaluate their systems without being inhibited by their systemic rules.
In our Expert Modeling we combine systemic coaching,
accelerated learning, value theory, typological
analysis, behavioral psychology, management science and
chaos theory. Let's start with some basics.
What is Learning?
People learn as they acquire experience. We help people model their acquired experience
so that other people can replicate the condensed experience quickly and
efficiently.
- 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 - abstract
summaries of your experience. Gaining and managing knowledge is a multi-level
process of capturing experience and structuring it for future use. (See
knowledge management).
Expert Modeling is an ESSENTIAL component of Systemic Coaching
Outer & Inner Modeling
Outer behavior (physiology) can be directly observed and imitated. Eliciting inner
behavior requires intensive interviews. Inner behavior includes identity,
values, beliefs, strategies, sensory acuity and metaprograms, which (if
you have an appropriate language) can be
synthesized into models of competence that can be tested and streamlined.
Our Expert Modeling
identifies, decodes and duplicates process competence. (Most educators
simply duplicate content competence). Some key elements of our Expert Modeling are:
- Identity - perception of self, purpose and sense of life
- Beliefs - perceived rules of causality and appropriateness
- Heuristics - strategies for solving new or unknown problems
- Attention - moment by moment focus of subjective attention
- Relationships - conceptual representations of self
with other
- Values - abstractions of importance - things that we seek or avoid
- Strategies - sequences of actions and subjective sensory
experiences
- Sensory acuity - ability to represent and discriminate sensory
information
- Physiology - posture, pulse rate, muscle tone,
blood pressure, balance etc
- Metaprograms - patterns of mental processing, behavior,
attention and thinking
Generative & Integrative Modeling
Active elicitation of modeling data is complete when all relevant strategies of
an expert are known. A basic expert model may be used "as-is";
or an expert
model may be streamlined (generative modeling) or a group of expert strategies may be
combined (integrative modeling).When we are modeling an
expert system, our work includes:
- 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
- Test every step and check whether the overall strategy is
effective
- Prepare a simulation protocol using simulation results as propositions
- Goal path analysis to define the desired changes and
their consequences
- Systemic diagnosis to define the system, its
context and its relationships
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.
