The original and highly technical work on eliciting,
designing, utilising and installing strategies is by Richard
Bandler, John Grinder, Robert Dilts & Judith DeLozier, NLP
Volume 1 (Meta Publications, 1980).
For a shorter and simpler introduction to strategy elicitation,
see chapter 4 of Charlotte Bretto's, A Framework for
Excellence (Grinder, DeLozier & Associates, 1988).
Anthony Robbins has a very readable couple of chapters on
modelling strategies in Unlimited Power (Simon & Schuster,
1988).
Leslie Cameron-Bandler, David Gordon & Michael Lebeau
wrote The Emprint Method: A Guide to Reproducing Competence in
order "to provide you with tools that will enable you to identify and
acquire (or transfer to others) desirable human aptitudes."
Although David Gordon now says it is really about modelling emotional
competence, it is still one of the most comprehensive models of
modelling yet published. (Real People Press, 1985)
Judith DeLozier's article 'Mastery,
New Coding, and Systemic NLP' in NLP World (Vol. 2 No. 1,
March 1995) has a brief description of a "not knowing" state that is
excellent for "intiutive modelling". An account of her and John
Grinder's modelling project of people who have completed
interesting modelling projects can be found in Turtles All The Way
Down (Grinder, DeLozier & Associates, 1987).
Robert Dilts & Todd Epstein's Tools For Dreamers
(1991) is packed with micro and macro processes for modelling with
lots of examples of strategies for creativity. (Meta Publications,
1991)
The three volumes by Robert Dilts, Strategies of Genius
Volumes I, II & III are the definitive work on "conceptual
modelling", especially when your sexemplar is an historic figure.
(Meta Publications, 1994/1995)
Robert Dilts, Modelling with NLP, provides an
in-depth look at the modelling process and its applications. (Meta
Publications, 1998).
