The Universal Human Condition Solution

Multi-Option-Add-Your-Own Diagnostic & Intervention Frameworks

The Universal Human Condition Solution

The universal human condition problem is unconscious incognizance - we're forced to live in ignorance of what we don't know we don't know. This is a signficant physiological problem, because it prevents us from seeing & recognising the significance of what's right in front of us.

The solution to this problem of unconscious incognizance is to generate, integrate & test alternatives to an evolving hypothesis, building a multi-option-or-add-your-own diagnostic & intervention framework, in the process.  Hover here for a little more detail.

The Drîm Dimension Solutions

The six primary drîm facets of any situation or thing: cover whichever of these are relevant and drîm is assured.

Drîm Solution Design, Implemenation Planning & Implementation Management

Three stages following the same cycle.

Drîm Solution Design, Implemenation Planning & Implementation Management

1. Solution Design: Describe the situation; look for a match. Develop a GPS, enhance the GPS.
2. Implementation Design: Staged Evolution; Swim-lanes; Pull-System for Change; Pool time, people, money & resources; Implementation Funnel.
3. Implementation Management: Implemenation Management Framework, enabling ahead of time & situational identification of the primary failure, opportunity & sucess modes.

Practitioner Drîm Solutions

Applying drîm as an internal or external practitioner.

Practitioner Drîm Solutions

1. DERT
2. GPS Pattern
3. The Drîm Training Solution: Give people a safe environment to practice the new understanding, skills & approaches in - starting with a common worked through situation, repeated at least three times before moving on to repeated freer-format situations.
4. The Drîm Coaching Solution: Help people make the discoveries themselves (both from scratch & by choosing between options). Help them learn using multiple-choice self-diagnosis & intervention frameworks. Help them to make their chosen solutions work - only helping them choosing a better solution, when they realise the need for one.
5. The Drîm Contracting Solution: Deliver to the terms of the contract, using a pre-arranged framework for adjusting scope & time.
6. The Drîm Consulting Solution: Understand their situation & perspective better than they do, before suggesting a single thing. Develop a simple MECE Pattern Framework to enable people to appreciate the soundness of the thinking.

The Primary Drîm Arenas

There are both universal and specific drîm patterns for each arena and domain of life.

The Primary Drîm Arenas

Drîm Solutions are simple and (of necessity) counter-intuitive and invariably take advantage of (rather than fighting) the situational forces that constrain the improvement we're seeking. They include:

Personal Drîm Solutions: Provisional set.

Community Drîm Solutions: Coming soon.

Organisational Drîm Solutions: Provisional set.

National Drîm Solutions: Coming soon.

Civilisation Drîm Solutions: Coming soon.

The Primary Drîm Dimensions

Six primary dimensions to consider to unlock dramatic improvement.

The Primary Drîm Dimensions

The (well, a starting set of) primary drîm dimensions to nearly all situations - applying to both People and Things.

Flow: The speed and rate that stuff is produced.

Ingenuity: Simple counter-intuitive solutions.

Change: Transitioning from old to new.

Mastery: Knowledge, expertise & experience.

Synergy: 2 + 2 = 5: things and people.

Understanding: Aligning beliefs with reality.

The Primary Domain Solution Patterns

The primary drîm domains are People and Things. All other domains and sub-domains derive from (mostly a combination of) them.

The Primary Domain Solution Patterns

People (Key: Cognitive Science)

People are more like us & we are more like them than either party realises. Interpersonal issues signal different perspectives - it's almost never malice.

Things (Key: System Science)

We tend to apply force directly (ignoring & then fighting the system that they are & are part of), instead of using the system to effect the change that we need.

The Physical Drîm Lever Examples

Familiarity with common lever-types make enables us to spot opportunities that we might otherwise miss.

The Physical Drîm Lever Examples

Indirect, rather than direct intervention:

1. Cause>Effect: Addressing effects via causes.
2. Wedges: Using, directing & magnifying forces.
3. Whips: Converting between momentum & speed.
4. Pulleys: Mechanical advantage from gearing.
5. Bottlenecks: Relieving end-to-end bottlenecks.
6. Reinforcing Cycles: Converting Vicious Cycles into Virtuous ones.
7. Conflict Resolution: Resoving contradictions & conflicts without compromise - for either party/requirement.
