The L4 Framework cites every model it stands on, by name. Larry and Lawrence didn’t invent these. They wrote down the version that holds together when you use them in sequence to build an ILO.
Older organizational structures forced people into roles they had no natural talent for, then called the resulting struggle a performance problem. Training happened. Behavior didn’t shift. The plan sat on the shelf. The L4 Framework — and the ILO it builds — is the cure for that.
We stand alongside, not above. The framework belongs to the audience the moment they understand it. Whatever they do next is up to them. That position is built into the briefing, the workshop, and every conversation we have on the way in.
