Frames II

Hi Everyone

Here is part two of the frames topic. We continue to discover the different types of frames.

Frames

Cause and Effect Frame

Allows consideration of the relationship between what you are doing and the result you are getting. If we adopt the mental filter of looking at how something we do causes an effect, we are getting near real time feedback about how we are influencing the world. If our action is not getting us to where we want to go then we must change our approach.

Possibility / Necessity Frame

The possibility / necessity frame is a ‘sense making filter’. Here we look at each part of a problem and see if it is something that creates a possibility or if it is a necessity. Eg In the race to the moon in the 1960s there was a possibility of getting a man to the moon much earlier than 1969, but the necessity was to return them to Earth.

Open Frame

The open frame provides an opportunity for anyone to raise any comments or questions about the material that interests them.

Control Frame

A control Frame sets a limit on the scope or time of an activity.

Relevancy Frame

The relevancy frame can be used to determine how a specific statement or behaviour is helping to achieve an agreed outcome i.e. is it relevant?

Out Frame

A frame that excludes possible objections.

Action Step

Look for opportunities to make use of some of the frames outlined above.

Until Next Time when we will talk about Reframing
