Spiral Dynamics Level 1 Part 2

This is the syllabus for the next part of your journey

vMEMETIC CHANGE:

An in-depth exploration of the basic mechanisms/formulae, transitions,within, and between each stage or vMEME.

TheChange Equation / Integral Change

Howshould who, manage, lead, direct, teach whom, to do what why where when andwith what consequences?

Six Conditions forvMeme Change

1. Potential in the mind/brain for more complex levels of thinking

2. Solutions found to current existence problems at thepresent level

3. Dissonance and uncertainty about the fit of presentthinking with the realities at hand

4. Barriers to change (both extrinsic and internal)identified and resolved

5. Insight into alternatives and viable options as achange to strategy

6. Support during the transition and Consolidation of thenew thinking

The 5 Processes for ApplyingSpiral Dynamics

1. Read the vMemes

· Drop the Plumb Bob

· Apply the Design Formula

2. Communicate with the vMemes

3. Organise through the vMemes

4. Manage to the vMemes

5. Prepare for vMeme Change

It Starts with me!

· Being Aware of yourown ‘Kosmic Address’

· Motivational Flows

· Personal Emergence

Plumb Line Process (7 elements) (FOCUS/FUNCTION/FORM/FIT/FLOW/FUN)

· Job Requirements

· People Profiles

· Recruitment and Selection

· Placement

· Training and Development

· Management

· Form

Effective HumanSystems

· The Politeness factor

· The Openness factor

· The Autocracy factor

Spiral Integration (Templates) - X, Y and ZTemplates & Intelligences

· X Template. The Most Natural Forms and Flows for the CriticalFunctions. Specifies the job to be done.

· Y Template. People Factors and Management Systems. TheSupport Systems for the people who do the job.

· Z Template. Command Intelligences. Brain Syndicate. Theoverarching executive intelligences necessary for the macro-management ofeverything and everybody while it is being done.

Spiral Alignment(Streams) - Ten Elements in the Streams Sequence

1. Decide What business you are really in

2. Chart Big Picture Patterns and Flows in the Milieu (PastPresent Future)

3. Take Inventory of Resources, Functional Capacities, andLife-Cycle Stages

4. Develop and Propagate a Strategic Vision

5. Establish Set-Points, Locate Flywheels, and Map theOrganisation’s Psychological ‘DNA’.

6. Connect everything to everything else

7. Design an ideal Hypothetical Model Fitting Structures toFunctions.

8. Liberate, realign and Reshape Current Systems to Fit the NewModel

9. Place the right Person into the Right Job with the RightTools and Support

10. Build an OngoingRealignment Process for Continuous Shifts and Changes

The Spiral Tool Kit (8 essential tools)

· Deciphering Codes

· Constructing Maps

· Elaborating Quadrants

· Observing Cycles

· Building Scenarios

Large scaleSocietal/Cultural health and well-being, transformation, and large scalesystems change. (Chapter 17).

· The focus on howvMEME codes act at the core of cultures to generate various models of communityand political/economic development.

· StratifiedDemocracy to describe a model for addressing racial divides, 1st through 4thWorld developmental gaps, the new digital divides, and fresh approaches to“Third Way” or “Compassionate Conservatism” models of societal upliftment.

The TwelvePostulates – Moving Forward with ‘Integral Action Enquiry’:

Based upon an understanding of the complexdynamics that forge and transform human cultures, communities, and countries.

1. Reframe globalisation issues around value system codesrather than behavioural stereotypes.

2. Create Vital Signs Monitors to track deeper currents andcritical indicators.

3. Focus on the future as more significant than the past inshaping the present.

4. Search for new intelligences that appear around chaos, andwithin crucibles.

5. Identify the super ordinate goals that transcend otherpriorities and agendas.

6. Facilitate and honour the inevitable steps, stages and wavesin human emergence.

7. Mobilise all available resources (quadrants/levels) andfocus them like laser beams.

8. Contain destructive conflicts while respecting the essentialcycles of change.

9. Promote Power differentiation through appropriate,stratified stages and layers.

10. Resolve major paradoxes by implementing creative win:win:winsolutions.

11. Integrate the body, mind, soul and spirit in enriching thehuman experience.

12. Nourish and replenish the natural habitat so that all lifeforms may flourish

Supporting the Integration of New Awareness

o The student will be guided to explore their findings in their own habitat.

o An ‘oral,’ and ‘written,’ contribution, based upon their findings, to the training cohort, will form a significant part of the programme assessment.

The student is then positioned to explore the further and fuller foundations of this point of view.
