Resource Library

This is a collection of models and frameworks I've studied, applied, and in some cases developed. They're organized by the progressive disclosure pattern: a resource entry page (executive summary) linked to an anchor article (deep dive), plus cross-referenced articles and related resources.

Models & Personal Frameworks

Frameworks I've developed or adapted substantially for my own practice.

ID/LX Framework

A tiered approach to learning experience design for experts sharing knowledge — matching program depth to transfer depth.

External Frameworks

Models and frameworks developed by others that I work with extensively.

Neuro-Linguistic Programming

The foundational model supporting everything else -- modeling exceptional ability and making expertise transferable.

Productive Tension

A framework for mapping activation states based on the relationship between perceived ability and challenge — descriptive, predictive, and prescriptive.

The ChangeGrid

When Productive Tension meets engagement — a two-dimensional map of human experience with a second, quieter sweet spot for productivity.

GeniusMapping

Conscious modeling of unconscious competence — capturing expert decision structures so expertise becomes transferable.

The Path of Self Discovery

Systematic inquiry framework using de Bono's color-coded thinking to maintain optimal activation for discovery and decision-making.

Octalysis Framework

A model of human motivation distilled from game design — eight Core Drives that form a complete map of what drives human behavior, applied to learning and business design.

Learning Loops

A family of connected frameworks — Experiential Learning Theory, 4MAT, VCoLs, and Dynamic Skills Theory — that describe how learning and development build on each other across the lifespan.


These resources are shared as living reference points. Each entry links to an anchor article for deeper exploration and related resources for cross-cutting connections.
