Normann, 2001 Ch. 14 - The Mental Space for Reframing - quite good "deck" Flashcards
Chapter 14 in the book build up to these model.
What three categories exists on the time-line?
the coneptual past, the present and the conceptual future.
What three mental domains exists?
- The consciously abstarcted doman
- The domain of everyday discourse
- the non-conscious domain
What is “The consciously abstracted domain”?
It is constructed or theoretical. “created”.
What is the non-cinscious domain?
This is the domain of Freud and Jung. Humans (and gorups/collective) have non-conciousness.
Describe History as objectivly recorded.
Simple recorded data exist. Top managers just have to remember to go back, and see what capabilities they have, what made them established in the first place. What blockage they have and why certain dilemmas have never been resolved.
Describe The current established map
We cannot escape our point of departure; our established map, world view, concepts, model of reality, and of ourselves. But to move ahead we need to take advantage of the resources that are available for us.
Describe Reconstructed theories
Is it possible to generalize from old theories? No, we can learn, but we cannot make decisions just because of past happenings. Compare with best practice (Boxall and Purcell).
Describe Archetypes, collective unconscious, landscaping
The essentials of the past have been synthesized into narratives, archetypes, exemplars and heroes, myths. Beethoven, Odysseus, Shakespeare, Ford, Napoleon. Going into the non-consciousness past also helps us understand how the physical context we function in is an embodiment of actions of the past and therefore.
Describe Sensory perception, Unconscious simulations
A human receive over a million stimuli which our brain simplify with a million.
Describe Upframing and creative induction.
Upframing normally implies moving up to a higher conceptual level, generalising, theorising, experimenting. Induction has a big part of it. It involves a leap of faith.
Describe Projections, Plans, Goals
We deal with the future, we normally do this by forecasting, and by planning. The future then become a set of explicit, conscious intents, and goals. Objectives that we want to move forward and reach.
Describe Non-conscious scenarios
Our mechanism that handles sensory can also percept images of the future, we can call them scenarios, and are usually not very sophisticated, they are usually based on the assumptions that the model we already hold will continue to be as valid. They are alternative futures based mostly on our established framework.
Describe Artefact scenarios
We can also move into the conceptual future with a consciously transcendental, creative intent. In doing so we try to go beyond the intents, goals and objectives that are normally derived from our establishment, institutionalized mind-set.
