Platform Genidentity: The Movements of Unfolding Uniqueness

--

Introducing the Platform Genidentity framework and toolkit for knowledge creators

In the past few years, I worked on the Ecological Practice approach which is a meta-theory. How did I connect it with Practice?

Basically, my strategy is One Year One Step. Each year, I write a book that focuses on one core concept of the approach. Each book is designed with a structure of “concept — framework — phenomenon”. This is the top-down approach.

I didn’t always follow this path. Sometimes, I work on projects first, then move to write a book or develop some new concepts and frameworks. This is the bottom-up approach.

  • How did I choose a phenomenon for a concept in order to write a book?
  • How did I choose a phenomenon for a project in order to conduct research?
  • How did I choose a framework for a research project?

Actually, I didn’t have an ideal model to respond to these challenges. Sometimes it depended on “framed orientations” and “situational opportunities”.

This article aims to introduce the Platform Genidentity framework and considers Theory as a type of Developmental Platform.
