Framestorming
Laura outlines how Framestorming, or questioning the question, has defined her career. While she didn't know this model formally, she consciously challenged the problem, rather than just establishing the solution.

Map vs Territory
Laura expressed how she enjoyed this model as a way to stay humble and sceptical about any model, including ones that she has created.

Fast and Slow Thinking
Michelle delves into the role of behavioural economics and a range of heuristics into understanding how people work and change (or don't), and how that must inform the work of learning and development professionals as a result.

Agile Methodology
Michelle took the above theme and stressed the importance of any model that helped us to experiment and test ideas to be more flexible. She highlighted the importance of viewing everything as a hypothesis.

Idea Sex
Laura discusses her preference for the term 'In the Overlap', and we were particularly taken by her approach to apply this model for a Lazarus Effect — to bring past projects or ideas back from the dead.
