Modeling Projects by Alexander Van Buren

 

 

 

The Current Modeling Project

This years macro-modeling project is the elicitation of The Structure Of Abundance™. The purpose of the project is to elicit the beliefs, operative formats, criteria and other behavioral patterns and cognitive structures that produce the ongoing experience of "Abundance" and put them into a model that can be taught and reproduced.

The first 3 phases are:

Phase I
Definition Of The Competence
Boundary conditions of the definition will be clarified and criteria for their fulfillment will be determined.

Phase II
Selection Of the Models
3 to 7 individuals who meet the boundary conditions of the criteria for 'living in abundance' will be selected for behavioral modeling.

Phase III
Elicitation
A set of questions will be designed to elicit the primary operative formats and cognitive sequences of the models.

Past Modeling Projects

 

2009


Alexander's most recently completed behavioral modeling project was The Inner Game Of Joint Ventures™.

The complete structure of effective joint ventures has been elicited along with a step by step process for doing joint ventures and strategic alliances. Dozens of insights for what it really takes to do effective joint ventures are part of the model.

The Inner Game of Joint Ventures™ will be presented by Alexander at The Ultimate JV Boot Camp in Las Vegas in late January 2010, and is now available as a series of private coaching sessions and online training.

It's available as a special set of coaching sessions at JointVentureSeminar.com.

This years macro-modeling project is The Asimov It Productivity Patterns™.

This special combination of patterns results in extraordinary flow, productivity and focus.

Modeled from one of the most prolific men in history, Isaac Asimov - this master pattern is a complete set of operating formats that combine to produce something beyond productivity - more of an immersion of passion combined with a joyous obsession.

This set of patterns is available in Alexander's coaching and online programs.

2006


A Champions Regimen
This year the macro-modeling project is called Raise Your Regimen™. World class athletes, musicians and high achievers in every area of endeavor consistently maintain extraordinary training regimens. This project is an add on to The Champions Mental Game™ project some years ago.

A select group of world class athletes will be studied and modeled to elicit the structure of a world class regimen. Commonalities will be used to determine a set of criteria and steps for designing a high performance regimen. Special attention will be given to the process used for raising and keeping one's regimen at the highest level possible for maximum performance and potential.

Patterns from this project are taught in The Mental Edge Seminar and in Alexander's phone coaching and online coaching programs.

The patterns are taught in The Productivity Zone™ training by Alexander.

 

 

2004


Rapid Improvement
Based on an interview given by Andre Agassi, this pattern is entitled The Getting Better Faster Pattern™.


It is the process Agassi used to make an extraordinary comeback when he was ranked 128th in the pro tennis circuit and considered over the hill. He used this sequence to rapidly re-build his entire game and rise up thru the rankings to contend for the #1 position in professional tennis.

This pattern has been requested by name by various companies including Bluegreen Land and Golf Corp., as it is an extraordinary way to help sales people improve their skills very rapidly.

Alexander opens the training module with the statement - "In sales, the faster you get better, the sooner you make more money."

World Class Decision Making™
A two year project designed to elicit how the best decision makers in the world do what they do. 3 behavioral models were utilized and a complete process for secession making and problem solving was elicited and tested.

 

The World Class Decision Making Pattern™ was requested by name by Paramount Home Entertainment, a billion dollar a year division of Paramount Pictures for a special training for their world wide team. The patterns are available in Alexander's training and consulting work and in his executive coaching.

2002


World Class Sales & Marketing

A complete modeling project for the Bluegreen Land and Golf Corporation. This project involved being flown to Bluegreen's various land sales offices and modeling the top sales people, referral getters and communicators in each office.
A complete set of patterns evolved and were taught to Bluegreen's entire sales and management team.

A follow up project involved modeling the top 2% of mortgage originators and additional sales people who earn over $600,000 a year in commission.

Patterns include Sales Champion Drivers™, The Champions Referral Pattern™ and 29 Secrets Of Great Sales Super Stars™ and The Customer Service and Referral By Design Process™.


Bowlers
PBA bowlers were modeled and their techniques put into a set of lessons and made available to bowlers. A CD was also created using a special autogenic conditioning technique to install the patterns. Hundreds of testimonials have been received from bowlers all over the world including several from bowlers who have used the CD to bowl their best series and their first 300 game ever.

See FreeBowlingTips.com for details.


 

2001


The Champions Mental Game
This years macro-modeling project is The Champions Mental Game™. All champions, especially world class athletes use a specific mental framework to keep themselves motivated, inspired and training at high levels.

This project will elicit the 'mind set of champions' and what they do mentally to stay at their best more often. Positive mental programming methods, reliance patterns and methods they use to trigger peak performance states will be modeled and

Patterns from this project are taught in The Mental Edge Seminar and in Alexander's online coaching programs. Some of the patterns are published in Alexander's workbook Mastering The Mental Game.

 

Discovering Unconscious Beliefs™
This is an original NLP technique and is a process for elegantly revealing any persons unconscious beliefs.

This pattern and other belief change techniques are taught in Alexander's NLP Master Practitioner Certification Training.


The New Emotion Generator™
This is an original NLP methodology for identifying an optimum emotional state for any upcoming situation, then accessing that state in such a way that it becomes a stable configuration in consciousness that moves through time in a particular context.

This way of generating highly appropriate and useful emotional states is based on modeling numerous executives over a period of time and noticing how they generated the states they spent time in. The distinctions were put into a set of patterns originally called Executive State Management™.

This set of patterns is available in Alexander's executive coaching packages, NLP Master Practitioner Certification Training and in his online NLP trainings.

 

 

2000


Executive Leverage

This set of patterns was modeling from a senior executive at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory. The complete model is entitled The Levels of Leverage™ and includes techniques for delegating, hiring and qualifying others for competency.

 

Applications Of Kaizen & Personal Gemba Kaizen™
The principles of Kaizen were used to create an original model for personal use. The themes of ongoing improvement, problem solving, morning market and others were all modified so as to create a personal system of Kaizen.

The Frequency and Duration Model™
This is an original model for creating lasting change. It concentrates on habit creation, stabilization and elimination.


1999


The Champions Outcome Frame™
How do champions in sports, business, medicine and science go about their goals and outcomes?

This project elicited 14 factors that demonstrate that brilliant people go about their goals very differently from all the rest. As a result of this project, four other types of 'outcome frames' were elicited.

The New Identity Generator™
An original NLP creation, this pattern is a designer recursive swish pattern and creates a continuously evolving identity that moves through time and is consistent with a person's values and beliefs. This pattern is profoundly different from the standard "SWISH" pattern, which only installs a new self image.


The Thought Template of Creation™

An original NLP pattern. This is an advanced manifestation template for rapidly getting what you want and having it show up effortlessly.

Quantum Leap Drivers™
An original NLP methodology for eliciting a persons unconscious constraints and limitations that are out of their awareness yet holding them back. Part of the pattern involves offering optimum resources based on the way a person organizes their reality. Uptime Excitare™ is the special pattern used for this process.

Excitare is latin for 'to awaken or light up from within'.

Alexander uses Uptime Extitare™ in his executive coaching packages and in a special training called Quantum Leap Drivers, and in many of his online trainings.

 

 

1998


The Momentum Pattern
A 9 month project designed to elicit the structure of an experience called "momentum". The state was described by the 3 models as the experience of 'having the perfect resource show up just when you need it". The Momentum Pattern™ is the sequence of steps.

The Values Dashboard™
On the suggestion of a friend who was, at the time, the chief information officer at Hitachi, this model was created using the structure of project tracking software used at Hitachi. It is a reliable method for quickly determining if you're living your values at any moment in time and, if not, what to do to correct your deviation so as to live your values in each area of your life and so attain greater life balance.

The Day End Review™
An original NLP creation, this pattern was submitted to Anchorpoint Magazine and published. It later appeared in The Sourcebook of Magic. The pattern is an advanced and user friendly New Behavior Generator that allows a person to become more and more resourceful by using their own personal history and a simple resource template.

 

 

1997


Creativity & Genius
This was Alexander's first macro-modeling project.

It was a two year behavioral modeling project designed to elicit the structure of creativity in detail. Part of this project was to read Leonardo da Vinci’s notebooks every single day for two years while eliciting Walt Disney’s actual creative process and studying Peter Drucker’s concepts on innovation.

Patterns that came about as a result of this project include The Disney Creativity Diamond™, Carrying Awesome States™ and The Point of View Practices™.

A one day training containing the patterns is available for companies and groups entitled Creativity Plus.

The creativity patterns from this project are also available in Alexander's coaching packages and online trainings.
