NLP Models, Strategies and Techniques
Understanding the differences between them.
MODEL: A description of a system, theory, or phenomenon
that accounts for its properties and may be used to further study its characteristics;
The Meta Model (Deletion Model) is a model of the transformation of experience
into language. The Strategy Model is a model of the structure of strategies
(TOTE) and is one of the NLP models used when eliciting someone's strategy
for getting a result.
STRATEGY: A sequence of thought processes to obtain
an outcome; What someone does to obtain a desired outcome using the distinctions
of a Model, is a strategy. The strategy is not part of the model, it is a
strategy for using the model. A strategy may not work as well for some people
as it does for others. This is the reason why often there are many different
strategies for using the same model and therefore many different techniques
that get equivalent results.
TECHNIQUE: A systematic procedure to accomplish
a complex or scientific task; The technique someone uses to accomplishing
something may involve more than one strategy and more than one NLP model (strategies
in sequence and/or within strategies, each conforming to the Strategy Model).
Someone's technique is not a model. It is their way of using a combination
of model utilization strategies, presuppositions (beliefs) and physical capabilities
to accomplish something in a particular environment. The technique someone
uses to accomplish something, may change if one or more of the variables change.
