Five levels of learning in which each level above is progressively more encompassing. Bateson. (No Reference given on the Techniques Library, it’s 1972)

Dilts (1990) took this and distinguished:

• environmental
• behaviour
• skills and capabilities
• beliefs and values
• identity, mission and purpose

What goes at the top though ?

• Purpose
• Identity
• Beliefs/Values
• Capabilities
• Behaviour
• Environment

It helps direct the point of intervention; at what level is your problem?

Are you aligned at all levels?

What’s this about splitting into pairs and having people question each other?
