Hi Peter Yes, fine point - that precisely the holders of the tacit knowledge (the bosses - the good ones, at any rate) tend to be quick off the mark to reject NLP (lack of statistics and far too much hype). Since NLP modeling is precisely the most advanced tool presently available to map from tacit knowledge to explicit (and transferable) models of competency/excellence, as you comment, there is a paradoxical quality to their complaints that the new generation is not learning what they have to offer. The suggestion that you and Lewis collaborate on an article detailing what the opportunity that NLP modeling offers would be a most welcome development. If I can play a part in supporting such a work, I am interested in such a supportive role. Robert - your point about the vested interests in returning patients (in both therapy and medical practice) is well taken. I hasten to add that there a many, many practitioners in both fields that successfully resist these very badly organized incentives and do impeccable work. Nevertheless, it is clear that a shift in the incentives in both fields is long overdue. All the best, John John |
