thealphaswarmer insights: The Neuro Linguistic Programming Model

Some time ago, I was acquainted with an ‘individual’ with a Doctorate in Linguistics by the name of Dr Cross – and whilst this was during a very ‘short term assignment’ I did at the NAB – he did shed a lot of light into the ‘nature of Neuro Linguistic Programming (NLP)”

Essentially, NLP aims to look at the three modes of writing, the kinaesthetic, the auditory and most of – the visual elements of writing.


NLP is an excellent model for framing ‘methodologies‘ in the Emerging Knowledge Economy, something that intrigues me dearly as a result of a book I have just recently completed which is highly recommended by INSEAD Professors and which prophesies the ‘emergence‘ of ‘magnets‘ in the global knowledge pool – something that ties in intrinsically with another article I wrote in detail on how participants in the “Network Economy” can leverage tools inlaid in this book – together with a comprehensive and detailed model of  something called  ‘network incubation‘ to enable drivers of innovation, which are primarily rooted in leadership and cultural variance, together with the fusion of collaborative work practices with either physical, virtual or more significantly distributed teams.


By integrating the tenets of NLP together with something I am working on known as ‘the four fold method of self organistion’ – organisations, communities of practice and perhaps even industry focus groups – which are long term but informal collaborations; can yield very significant tangible benefits to their ‘bottom line’ – which manifest in terms of ROI, Sales Performance Optimization, Effective Project Managment and perhaps even ‘running effective team meetings‘ 


The biggest problem here, would be identifying the core behavioural dilemmas together with the intrinsic nature of ground rules in an Enterprise System – considering the ‘system’ wishes to integrate certain ‘individualities or personalities’ for the development of its a)social entrepreneurship or b) legislative variants.
