What is HSP?

HUMAN SYSTEM PROTOCOL™

Human System Protocol™ is a coaching framework for examining how behavior develops, why certain patterns keep returning and where change can become possible.

You do not need to learn the framework first. HSP mainly helps you look more precisely at what happens between input, meaning, pressure, capacity, behavior and feedback.

HSP in one sentence

The starting point

Human System Protocol™ is a coaching framework for examining how behavior develops, why patterns keep returning and where change can become possible.

Behavior does not exist in isolation. It develops within a system that continuously processes input, assigns meaning, forms expectations, responds to pressure and works with the capacity available at that moment.

HSP therefore shifts the first question from “What is wrong with this behavior?” to “What makes this behavior understandable or predictable right now?”

From input to behavior

The basic route

HSP looks at several layers that together influence which response becomes available and likely.

Input
Detection & meaning
Prediction & rules
Activation & capacity
Behavior
Feedback

Under pressure, available choice space may become smaller. Behavior can then become more automatic, protective or familiar, even when you consciously want something different.

What HSP does and does not try to do

No label

HSP helps examine

  • which patterns keep repeating;
  • which input and meaning have influence;
  • what changes under pressure;
  • where capacity or choice space is reduced;
  • where a different next step may become possible.

HSP is not

  • a diagnosis;
  • a personality test;
  • an excuse for behavior;
  • a promise that every problem can be solved;
  • one fixed method applied to everyone in the same way.

Next step

You do not need to understand HSP before working with it. If something keeps returning for you, within a team or inside an organisation, you can simply begin with what is happening.
