Why Should I Attend?

Spiral Dynamics answers questions like:

    o IF it is time for change, then change FROM what TO what?
    o WHY do people respond to different motivators?
    o WHY and HOW do values arise and spread?
    o WHAT is the nature of change?
    o HOW should who lead whom to do what, and when?

When using Spiral Dynamics, you:

    o communicate with people in ways they understand best on their terms, not yours.
    o motivate people in ways that matter to them, at this time, in this place.
    o construct organizations that align the work to be done, the people who will be doing it,
         the management style that fits those people, and the technologies that apply naturally
    o design natural systems within a coherent framework.

Spiral Dynamics can be applied to:

    o understand why medicine cannot prevent the spread of HIV
    o understand why global crises, such as terrorism, exist and resist diplomacy,
    o integrate and align the efforts of stake-holders in complex global hot spots
    o integrate and align the efforts of stake-holders with regard to domestic economic and
         social development issues 

What Will I Learn?

Adizes Graduate School is pleased to announce a six-day Spiral Dynamics seminar, live with Dr. Don E. Beck in Santa Barbara, California. This course will have a distinct academic focus because participants may continue their learning with three-weeks online follow-up dialogue for graduate credit which can be applied to any degree program at Adizes Graduate School!

Natural Designs: Second Tier Leadership, Organizational Elegance and Integral Management

This graduate level exploration into the theoretical underpinnings within the Clare W. Graves "Levels of Existence" will provide a rare glimpse into both the research methodology and the early applications of his seminal work. Further, we will track the history and emergence of the Spiral Dynamics extension, and mesh both with similar developmental streams in what is now being called Integral Psychology. Finally, this academic course will describe the myriad of applications of the Graves-Spiral Dynamics-Integral sequences, including the major contributions by Ken Wilber and others, in dealing with real world problems. This first major paradigm of the 21st Century offers insight in such areas as geopolitics, economics, religion, the arts, coaching and counseling, organizational design, education, health care, and other such manifestations.

Each student will complete a full battery of research instruments and will be challenged to develop applications of the Integral theory in their own area of interest. A feature of the course will be a demonstration of the interrelationships of Spiral Dynamics with the Life Cycle theory of Ichak Adizes, System Dynamics and Constellation theory from Bert Hellinger, as well as a number of other evolutionary and consciousness-based approaches. We may use the "Live Wire" technology to interview, via telephone, several of the outstanding contributors to this emerging paradigm, both in the United States and elsewhere. Special presenters are often invited to attend Level Two.

Following the six days of instruction in Santa Barbara, join us for three weeks on the Internet under the supervision of Marilyn Hamilton. This dialogue assists students in focusing on their individual applications of spiral concepts. Use the Registration Form above to enrol.
