Drîm Framework
site version notes | release roadmap | how this page works | how to use itThe Drîm Framework
The Drîm Framework is a framework of simple frameworks for dramatically improving any challenging situation or thing.
The Drîm Framework
The Drîm Framework is the foundation of the drîm discipline, toolset, solution set and practice.
It will enable you to develop your own drîm solutions and get the most benefit from the solution library in the next section of the site.
In fact, merely reading this section will catalyse latent ingenuity within your brain and result in new ideas and perspectives over the next few minutes, hours and days.
You'll benefit most if you have a challenging situation in mind to apply the framework to.
Introduction
Intro to Drîm
What are we talking about here?
Intro to Drîm
Dramatic Improvement is the discipline, framework and practice of deliberately and systematically improving any situation or thing dramatically.
The Drîm Framework is highly compatible - rather than competitive - with all other techniques and approaches: by intent, definition and design.
It enables anyone to secure significant gains - nearly immediately - in any challenging situation: the more challenging the more certain & dramatic the gains.

The Drîm Discovery Story
The discovery that challenging situations are made up of repeating patterns.
The Drîm Discovery Story
In an attempt to distinguish between competing breakthrough thinking techniques, it dawned on Gary Bartlett (Prodsol's Founder) that they were, really, versions of a deeper, simpler reality.
This led to the discovery of The Repeating Pattern Phenomenon, Pattern Thinking and the development of a taxonomy and library of drîm solution patterns.
This website is an evolving vehicle for disseminating these insights, civilisation-wide, as affordably and virally as possible - and supporting organisations and individuals in applying and implementing them.
The Framework
The Drîm Manifesto
Dramatic Improvement is ALWAYS possible.
The Drîm Manifesto
Fact: Drîm is always feasible - always.
Key: Leverage - it increases with complexity.
Problem: We can't see the leverage points.
Reason: Multi-dimensional complexity.
Insight: Reality comprises repeating patterns.
Solution: Use patterns as cognitive scaffolding.
Implications: Anyone can learn to do it.
The Primary Drîm Dimensions
The six primary dramatic improvement facets of every challenging situation.
The Primary Drîm Dimensions
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: Alignment of beliefs with reality.
The Drîm Dimension Solution Patterns
The universal solution patterns for the six primary dramatic improvement facets of every challenging situation.
The Drîm Dimension Solution Patterns
Flow: Optimise bottleneck throughput.
Ingenuity: Generate and integrate alternatives.
Change: use pull instead of push.
Mastery: Detect failure/success modes up-front.
Synergy: Use apparent conflicts as leverage.
Understanding: Hunt for belief:reality misalignment.
Familiarity with these simple, counter-intuitive drîm leverage patterns, makes drîm way easier.
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.
How to find Custom Drîm Leverage Patterns
A simple technique for finding the repeating drîm leverage pattern(s) in any challenging situation.
How to find Custom Drîm Leverage Patterns
The technique is called GPS(Goal|Problem|Solution) Pattern. Use Pattern Thinking to find the:
Goal Pattern: The repeating patterns across all Drîm Outcomes for all parties.
Problem Pattern: The repeating pattern across all Goal-preventing Challenges.
Solution Pattern: The repeating pattern across all Leverage Solution Ideas for overcoming the Problem and achieving the Goal.
Drîm Stories
A library of dramatic improvement stories to make it easier for us to remember drîm solution details.
Drîm Stories
Stories are a powerful way to help us learn, remember and apply important concepts and principles.
In due course, this section will contain:
- At least one story for each Drîm Dimension.
- A collection of stories for each Drîm Solution Arena and
- Well-known business novel book abstracts and summaries.
We use case stories from our own work, all the time.
The Drîm Method
The Drîm Method is a simple set of steps for identifying and applying the Drîm Manifesto and Dimensions to a challenging situation or thing.
The Drîm Method
Move down the flow-chart until your solution is good enough - for now - and implement, returning to the method, as required.
- Adopt the Drîm Mindset: Look in drîm-space, not settle-space.
- Look for Leverage Pattern Matches: drîm dimensions, drîm stories, drîm arenas.
- Build a (set of) Custom Drîm Leverage Pattern(s): Find patterns across inadequate solutions.
Most of the time, the second step is more than enough.
How to Grow Drîm Capability
Series of steps to deliberately accelerate drîm insight and capability.
How to Grow Drîm Capability
Absorb: Explore and familiarise yourself with drîm concepts and solutions.
Integrate new and existing drîm patterns - to codify and extend your existing library.
Practice : Apply drîm. Practice applying it. Make drîm part of your normal practice.
Collaborate: Explore, discuss and teach drîm and work with others on drîm projects.
Drîm is an infinite cycle of ever-improving performance and satisafaction, so it's an ongoing, unending cycle.
Drîm Self-Selection
The implications are huge and apply to every single challenging situation or thing we face - individually and collectively.
Drîm Self-Selection
Whatever opportunity or challenging situation you - or we all - face right now can be improved dramatically - no matter how intractable it may seem.
So whether you:
- Aspire to (even) better insight, results or impact.
- Face seemingly intractable challenges,
- Feel too under pressure for something new or
- Merely revel in counter-intuitive ideas...
... drîm could make all the difference to your world.
Is Drîm for You?
The Drîm Framework IS for you if:
A quick affirmative diagnostic to help you decide that drîm is what you need at this point in your journey. It highlights some facets of the journey that may or may not appeal to you.
The Drîm Framework IS for you if:
- Your appetite and aspirations for impact exceed what you're currently confident of securing.
- The idea of using a framework to focus and catalyse your energy and creativity appeals to you.
- You can cope with adapting concepts to your reality - not everyone can!
- You grasp and embrace the idea of continuous effort and focus over an extended period of time.
- You like the idea of repeating patterns - and intervening at the pattern-level.
The Drîm Framework IS NOT for you if:
A quick negative diagnostic to help you work out whether drîm is indeed what you need at this point in your journey.
It may be a timing thing - or merely incompatible with the way you think and go about things!
The Drîm Framework IS NOT for you if:
- You need and want only marginally better results - at the moment - and are confident of getting them.
- You'd like better results, but are looking for a single simple thing you can set and forget.
- You think that a framework will stifle your creativity.
- You already have your own dramatic framework - and don't think that this one will add enough to it to justify the time and energy.
- You prefer inventing your own solutions, than adapting and adopting other people's solutions.
