Please note that the breakthrough dialectical metasystemic advanced analysis and problem-solving methodology (DMAP) is also known by its originator, Otto Laske, as the dialectical thought form system (DTF).

 

About Otto Laske

Otto Laske, formerly of the Frankfurt School and Harvard, is now a multidisciplinary consultant, scholar, teacher, and coach known for his cutting-edge work in social science methodology and his rekindling of dialectics, an ancient form of complex systems analysis.

Three aspects and unique uses distinguish Otto Laske's original dialectical thought forms, DTF: 

    1. DMAP analysis and problem-solving on the scientific side.
    2. The consulting/coaching/services side.
    3. The purely educational side (as an extension of the adult-developmental).

He is the author of many books and articles on how to boost and measure thought maturity and ‘vertical’ adult development, detailing their impact on work delivery and teamwork in organizations. Dr Laske is a specialist in the assessment of thought and work complexity. He is the Founder and Director of the Interdevelopmental Institute (IDM), Gloucester, MA, USA (www.interdevelopmentals.org).
