Discovering the Structures of Communication Interactions – SIC®

To help others to better conduct their thinking, the SIC study is combined with research into the rational modelling of people’s communication patterns.

SIC® Study

To help others to better conduct their thinking, better understand and anticipate human behaviour.
It is a tool for observing and assisting in the conduct of thought, not a means of individual classification.

The SIC® Study was developed in 1992. It is associated with research into the rational modelling of people’s communication patterns.
The model provides a representation from the simplest to the most complex.
The graphic work of the SIC® model is the result of research in geometry on a tetrahedron.
By linking the work of philosophers such as Descartes, Spinoza and Pascal on ternary modelling with theories on communication and brain function, it was possible to cross-reference the visual representations of the whole range of thoughts on the relationship between people and information: on the way they process, reflect and express it. The result was a rigorous typology, observable on a colour wheel.

This work led to the development of a conflict resolution methodology: Professional Mediation, and to structured research that resulted in the development of Relational Engineering.
In communication and human relations, the SIC® model goes from the simplest to the most complex. As a rhetorical tool, it presents each person’s communication and relationship system. It helps to identify what is effective in communication, the specificities of creative dynamics, and highlights the risks of conflict.
The SIC® Study has been the subject of several publications. Jean-Louis Lascoux presents it in his book “Pratique de la médiation professionnelle” published by ESF.
Only accredited professional mediators are authorised to present the results of the SIC® Study.
