The Vacation Logic Framework

Vacation Logic is a transformative framework grounded in first-principles thinking, designed to deconstruct complex challenges into their core elements and systematically rebuild them into bold, actionable solutions - a ‘new reality’. It empowers individuals and organizations to drive meaningful CHANGE and unlock ‘new realities’ with clarity and confidence.

‘First Principles Thinking’ done step-by-step…

  • What are the fundamental truths of your current reality? your business? your industry? the way you work?

    Each of these aspects is an ‘essence’ of your situation. The first step is documenting these critical essences of your business context.

  • Each of these ‘essences’ can be ‘inverted’ or changed to manifest differently.

    With Vacation Logic, there’s a systematic method to come up with different manifestations and then choose the one that most closely aligns with your main objective. This systematic method is the application of the Operators of CHANGE.

    With roots in set theory, these operators guide the inversion of essences.

  • If you’ve truly radically CHANGED a critical ‘essence’ of your business- it would be absurd to assume that every other essence remains the same.

    So, the next step is to systematically find the other essences that need to invert.

    Finally, the inverted essences can be recombined into a new, reimagined paradigm that is consistent- in a way that actually works. It’s a relevant new reality.

First you take the tower apart, block-by-block.

These blocks are your essences.

Then for each block, you decide to turn it clockwise, anti-clockwise, or stack it on top of another block.

These different directions each map to one of the six ‘Operators of CHANGE’.

Finally you put all the blocks together again into the new structure- in a way that it is more stable.

This new structure is your new reality.

Think of the entire process as a tower of Lego blocks that you want to change … to be more stable.

This simple logic can have profound benefits.

  • Unlock New Realities: Systematically reimagine relevant new realities and take serendipity out of the creative process, making progress where others get stuck.

  • Drive Action with Ease: Learn how to get started, iterate ideas systematically, and integrate seamlessly with other frameworks such as the business model canvas and lean startup processes.

  • Communicate with Clarity: Understand why things fail, address negative feedback constructively, communicate your approach clearly to align others, and use the framework to objectify discussions.
