GeniusMapping
Capturing and transferring implicit expertise by modeling decision structures
Executive Summary
GeniusMapping, developed by J. Altfeld, grows out of expert systems and NLP. It captures and transfers implicit expertise by modeling the decision structures of top performers. I specialize in applying it to transform expert knowledge into comprehensive learning experiences.GeniusMapping
What It Is
GeniusMapping is a methodology for capturing the implicit expertise of top performers and making it explicit. It grew out of expert systems and Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP).
How It Works
The process involves:
- Modeling — observing and eliciting decision structures from experts
- Mapping — organizing those decisions into transferable frameworks
- Transferring — creating learning experiences that transmit the expertise
Why It Matters
Most expertise is implicit. The expert knows what to do but can't fully explain why. GeniusMapping makes the implicit explicit, turning "I just know" into "here's how I decide."
My Application
I combine GeniusMapping with my expertise in instructional design and cognitive-behavioral psychology to create "full-stack" learning solutions. The result: experts can share their knowledge in ways that actually transfer skill.
This framework pairs naturally with the ID/LX Framework for creating complete learning experiences.
