Comparing Related Frameworks

This section includes Frameworks that follow a standard taxonomic flow and bear superficial resemblances.

The starting point here is the use of language-PH'5 as explained in the THEE Path.

The derivation begins with formulating methods of managing (a Q-Typology), goes through strengthening managing in the face of complexity in discrete Stages (a Q-Spiral), and on to the hierarchical management structures in organizations (a Q-Hierarchy)—which are the «levels of work» to be considered here. (There are other Q-structures as explained in the Guide.)

As names are rather similar: a tabular summary is provided below.

L	PH'5-Q2t Methods of Managing Work	PH'5-Q2C Strengthening Organisation of Work	PH'5-QH2 Structuring Responsibility for Work	PH'5 Use of Language	L
	Types that are discrete and independent, and can be used in any situation.	Modes with cumulating principles: higher depend on lower.	Full-time interacting roles, whose weight demands personal capability.	The construction of reality that is relevant to using a Type, Mode or Role.
7	Set Parameters	Control Identity	Total Coverage	Forming a system via concepts	PH'5L3γ
6	Impose Guidance	Formulate Policy	Multi-field Coverage	Appraising via concepts	PH'5L3β
5	Shape Evolution	Evolve Strategy	Field Coverage	Asserting via concepts	PH'5L3α
4	Implement Programs	Organise Programs	Comprehensive Provision	Developing systems via information	PH'5L2δ
3	Introduce Methods	Provide Systems	Systematic Provision	Forming a system via information	PH'5L2γ
2	Devise Responses	Respond to Issues	Situational Response	Appraising via information	PH'5L2β
1	Specify Outputs	Define Outputs	Prescribed Output	Asserting via information	PH'5L2α

Similarity of names may be misleading. The main horizontal correspondence in this Matrix is in relation to the green use of language columns. While stages in strengthening organization does correspond to hierarchical structuring, any method of managing work can be used by any role at any level of management.
