The Fernan-Mead Layered Integration Model

Abstract

The Fernan–Mead Layered Integration Model (FMLIM) is a conceptual framework developed within the author’s Emotional Behavioural Awareness (EBA) framework describing how behavioural patterns and identity responses emerge through interaction across layered environments. The model recognises that behaviour is shaped through integrated influences operating across individual, relational, organisational, cultural and governance contexts rather than arising solely from individual psychological processes. FMLIM provides a structural lens for examining how layered environmental influences shape behavioural awareness and decision-making across personal, organisational and systemic environments. 

Within the Emotional Behavioural Awareness framework, FMLIM establishes the structural context within which behavioural awareness occurs, while the Acknowledge–Accept–Act (AAA) method provides the behavioural recognition and response sequence through which individuals may respond to insights gained through this awareness.
