Four-Frame Model

Jim Schreier Jan 1, 2024
Four-Frame Model

This model comprises four frames: Structural, Human Resource, Political, and Symbolic. Each lends a unique perspective to survey your organization. You could look at it as an artist changing brushes to bring out varied hues and textures in a painting.

Future

We should not equate a long view with a short distance.

Experience is a hard teacher. She gives the test first and the lessons afterward.

“Isn’t it strange that while we pay so much attention to quality, we do not yet pay attention to the quality of our thinking.”

— Edward de Bono
