@satikusala Whenever I see a pyramid, I shudder! I feel it gives a mistaken impression of a hierarchy, and I think that is far too simple. We do not work like that, in my view. Work is a system, and the elements, insofar as they can be separated, interact in complex ways. Miles and Huberman have a diagram of qualitative work (which I realise is not exactly what we are discussing), but I think the circular, interactive representation is far more like what goes on in the human mind when we are dealing with mental work. The pyramid is far too neat and structured for my taste. It is idealistic, whereas mental work is invariably (in my experience) messy, and often unstructured. I guess we all have ways of bringing order to the chaos (Tinderbox may be one of them), but mine is not via pyramids!
