Spiral Dynamics
Purpose
Understand value systems driving individuals and organisations
How to Use
1. Introduce Clare Graves' ECLET model and Beck & Cowan's Spiral Dynamics framework. 2. Map the eight value memes (Beige: survival, Purple: tribe, Red: power, Blue: order, Orange: achievement, Green: community, Yellow: systemic, Turquoise: holistic). 3. Assess the individual's or organisation's centre of gravity. 4. Diagnose the current condition and what conditions are needed to enable the next emergence. 5. Meet the system at its current level -- avoid forcing change up the spiral.
