Framework is a very essential part of test automation and is not explained in a word. It is a backbone which clearly defines rules and specifies how the automation should be designed.

Bin - Contains any of the executables aiding the automation.
Data
|--- Input - Test case sheet which contains configuration, test cases and functionalities, Data required for the test cases.
|--- Output - Contains the sheets which may be utilized for a dependent test case for next execution.
Library
|-- Generic - Ideally generic functions which are commonly used
|-- DataConnections - Database functions
|-- Reporting - Creating the reports and custom reporting
|-- AppFunc - Application workflow functions
Script - Contains the test script which reads from the input sheet.
Report - Contains the custom report generated for each test case execution.
Logs - Custom logs which captures each function execution for errors.
Snapshots - Appln failure snapshots.

The above is a short layout of an data driven approach framework which is scalable, controlled externally and not dependent on a tool. This should get you started and if you start building on this, in short time you would have reached half a skyscraper .
Good Luck if you already still hold the job !!
