The Core Model helps you structure documentation around six key questions:
-
Who needs this? (Target Group)
-
What are they trying to do? (User Tasks)
-
What do we achieve? (Business Objectives)
-
How do they find it? (Inward Paths)
-
Where next? (Forward Paths)
-
What's the answer? (Core Content)
When everyone answers these together, documentation gets the respect it deserves.
Live Workshops
3-hour intensive workshop where you apply the Core Model to your actual documentation challenges.

Kristina Halvorsen, author of Content Strategy
“I’ve seen [the Core Model] transform the way clients not only approach problem-solving and design, but also how they approach (and successfully untangle) large, complex projects.”
Stephen P. Anderson, author of Figure It Out
"The Core Model is brilliant in its simplicity. It can stand alone or work alongside any number of other methods. But more fundamentally, it’ll transform how you approach the design of digital products."
Magnus Revang, former Research Vice President at Gartner
“One of the greatest benefits of being Norwegian is not abundant nature and oil riches, it's the fact that the Core Model has been available to us for years.”
