MODERN ORGANIZATIONS ARE SATURATED WITH PROCESSES, initiatives, projects, and ideas. What is lacking is a framework for all these pieces that will provide a common language, allowing different types of individuals, with different learning styles, and different thinking styles to understand one another and the pulse of the complex organization of which they are a member. By creating models you create a framework that enables organizations to understand themselves and intelligently dialog about every aspect of the enterprise.

EACH MODEL speaks equally as components, categories, stages, domains, and as an integrated whole. The models are diverse in scope and topic but each can be applied to situations that are task, logistical, tactical, strategic, political, cultural, and philosophical in nature. In combination, these models are rich enough to explain the entire business ecosystem; an ecosystem composed of diverse human beings, inter-connected economies, a variety of environments (office, town, country, market place, etc.), and sophisticated technologies. Similarly, they can be used to solve specific technical problems.

DURING A KNOWHERE® PROCESS the modeling language is used in two ways. During co-design sessions the models are the foundation of a constantly evolving 100 module toolkit that in combination become the design challenges for the event. In a design event the modeling language is used to explicitly explain, diagram, augment, or frame a solution. This clarity often happens real-time at points when groups are close to, or in the process of achieving breakthrough. With all clients the models are used to co-design events. When clients choose to acquire Navigation Center™ capability, a deeper understanding of the modeling language is fully transferred to the client organization.
