The Dramatic Improvement Manifesto
The Drim Manifesto
Dramatic Improvement is ALWAYS possible.
The Drim Manifesto
- The Fact: Dramatic Improvement is always feasible - in every single situation.
- The Key: Leverage - the more challenging the situation the greater the leverage.
- The Problem: We can't see the leverage points or opportunities.
- The Solution: Use universal leverage patterns as cognitive scaffolding to find the next level of leverage opportunities.
It's a never-ending feast!
1. The Fact
Dramatic improvement is eminently feasible in EVERY single situation - without exception.
1. The Fact
It doesn't matter how challenging the situation is - or how much time we have - we can always secure dramatically better outcomes and experiences than we are currently securing.
It's perfectly - unavoidably - natural to be sceptical of this claim, but it is demonstrably, unequivocally true.
There are no exceptions: every single situation can be improved dramatically - no matter how intractable it may seem.
2. The Key
The key is LEVERAGE: the more challenging the situation, the greater the leverage opportunity.
2. The Key
Dramatic improvement arises from leverage. Dramatic improvements can only be caused by leverage.
Truly challenging situations are challenging because they're dynamically complex - strong and complex interactions between the situation's elements.
So the more challenging the situation (the greater the dynamic complexity) the greater the leverage - the more dramatic the potential for improvement.
3. The Problem
The problem is, WE CAN'T SEE the leverage points – not that they aren't there.
3. The Problem
There is always another level of leverage – hidden, in plain hindsight, in the reality beyond the one we can currently see. The problem is that we can't see those leverage points, until we see them, because they are beyond our current capability to see - not because they aren't there.
One of the primary reasons that we can't see leverage points, is because they are counter-intuitive to the previous level of insight. It's only when we see and truly understand them that they begin to make sense.
4. The Solution
The solution is to use Universal Leverage Patterns as cognitive scaffolding to find the next level of leverage opportunities.
4. The Solution
Although unconscious incognizance prevents us from seeing the next-level leverage points themselves, it doesn't prevent us from seeing the repeating patterns that they follow.
Once we can see the patterns across the challenges we face - and the patterns across the interventions we can think of (especially the counter-intuitive ones) we can use these patterns as templates and exemplars – cognitive scaffolding – for finding the next-level leverage points.
Implications
The implications of the Drim Manifesto are huge and apply to absolutely every challenging situation or thing - including things that you have long resigned to be intractable.
Implications
Whatever challenging situation you are facing right now can be improved dramatically - no matter how intractable it may seem.
It's normal, if you've tried everything you could think of, to feel that the situation is intractable - no matter what one might try. The Manifesto explains why you haven't any traction so far - and how to change that.
If your current situation isn't challenging - merely boring - it can be improved dramatically as well: if that appeals to you.
