In Business we are constantly striving to improve the models we utilise.NLP & DBM provide a technology to understand those models more deeply. Entrepreneurs, Business Executives and line managers seek to develop their models with no formal training in NLP or DBM,modelling tools created to model behaviour. 

So firstly what are the business modelling aspects we might wish to model? Here are a few:-

• Model a Business or Organisation (eg Whats the Easyjet model)
• Model a business process (Manufacture of the Toyota Yaris or Supply of Sandwiches at Subway)
• Model particular expertise (toolmaking)
• Model an example (a great facilitator)
• Model a culture (differential of identity)
• Model Structure in an organisation
• Model new tools such as those developed through NLP and DBM, such as The Meta model or Self management model.
• Model a pattern from a number of examples (Compassion in nursing)
• Model a process (an appraisal process)

and so on aand so forth

So in NLP some practitioners describe their modelling as the difference that makes the difference. Easier said than done without modelling lots of examples. A potential shortcut is to search out exceptional performance and make a comparison against the norm.

One means of modelling using DBM (Developmental Behaviourial Modelling) is take an example and through variation of testing is to optimise the behaviour. But the emphasis is on noticing what works and what works even better rather than just muddling along with something that is OK! NLP promises to model excellence, which would label it as a fixed destination, rather than excelling, which includes constantly updating.
