  1. Spiral Dynamics: Why does it matter? How can it help me?

  2. What I will cover • Review the basic concepts • Common mistakes in applying SDi • How to recognize dominant worldviews • How to become more healthy/peaceful • How to help world grow in health/peace • Clear definition of 2nd tier thinking

  3. Why does it matter?

  4. Why does it matter? • It’s true • More accurately describes human motivation, values, grouping and change • Powerful • Is itself a change agent • Helps us communicate • Applies across the board (life and world) • Understanding is absolutely necessary to face the more complex problems of the world

  5. How will it improve your life?

  6. How will it improve your life? • Understand why people do things • Allows for easier change and forgiveness • Makes life more peaceful • Easily communicate with all people • You become more conscious • Makes sense of a more complex world

  7. What I will cover • Review the basic concepts • Common mistakes in applying SDi • How to recognize dominant worldviews • How to become more healthy/peaceful • How to help world grow in health/peace • Clear definition of 2nd tier thinking

  8. Review: Basic assumptions • Human nature is not fixed • New thinking replaces w/o deleting old • We create new worldviews, still • Basically, consciousness evolves • This has been scientifically proven

  9. worldviews • Arise in response to new problems • Historical context • Societies • Individuals • Groups

  10. Review : Characteristics of Worldviews / vMemes • Arise out of life conditions* • Times, Place, Problems, Circumstance • Constantly shifting (as a result of LC) • Alternate between individual and communitarian • Waves*

  11. Review : Characteristics of Worldviews / vMemes • Lesser to greater complexity • Come as mixtures* • Cluster (1st / 2nd tier) • Have healthy and unhealthy manifestations

  12. Review: Eight stages of development • Different names. Which one, why? • Depends on audience • Value of Colors • Complexity versus goodness • Little bias • Shades • Warm/Cool

  13. Review: The Eight Worldviews 1st Tier: • Beige/Survival • Purple/Tribal/Magical • Red/Warrior/Egocentric • Blue/Traditional/Conformist • Orange/Modern/Strategic • Green/Postmodern/Consensus

  14. Review: The Eight Worldviews 2nd Tier • Yellow/Integral • Turquoise/Postintegral/Holistic • Coral

  15. What I will cover • Review the basic concepts • Common mistakes in applying SDi • How to recognize dominant worldviews • How to become more healthy/peaceful • How to help world grow in health/peace • Clear definition of 2nd tier thinking

  16. Common Mistakes • Categorizing “types of people” • Stereotyping based on Sdi • In trying to establish change in someone or a company, always ask “in what way does the person operate in respect to this issue? Ask not, ‘At what level is this person and how do the rules indicate I should be?’ SD 102 • On waves (enter, peak, exit) • On the onion of existence • McIntosh’s diagram

  17. More Common Mistakes • Assuming actions = worldviews • “Alas, one cannot detect the operating vMeme in a a person simply by observing behavior- what someone does. Only recognizing why a person is doing or saying certain things will lead you to the vMeme.” SD 41 • examples • Thinking the manifestation is the meme

  18. What I will cover • Review the basic concepts • Common mistakes in applying SDi • How to recognize dominant worldviews • How to become more healthy/peaceful • How to help world grow in health/peace • Clear definition of 2nd tier thinking

  19. How to recognize worldviews • Ask “why?” • Examples: District 9, Sports, Politics • Democrats and Republicans • Identify the life conditions • Where are the perceived threats? • What are the perceived challenges?

  20. What I will cover • Review the basic concepts • Common mistakes in applying SDi • How to recognize dominant worldviews • How to become more healthy/peaceful • How to help world grow in health/peace • Clear definition of 2nd tier thinking

  21. How to become more healthy, and peaceful

  22. How to become more healthy and peaceful • See problems in terms of the spiral • Seek solutions based on value codes • Identify your values, see how they clash with culture/others • Identify your onion shadow. Accept or transform it • How to transform?

  23. What I will cover • Review the basic concepts • Common mistakes in applying SDi • How to recognize dominant worldviews • How to become more healthy/peaceful • How to help world grow in health/peace • Clear definition of 2nd tier thinking

  24. How to make the world more healthy and peaceful

  25. How to make the world more healthy and peaceful • Discover and defend healthy manifestations • Allow other vMemes to express themselves • Some examples • Identify unhealthy manifestations and move them towards healthy ones • South African mine (153) • Palestine/Israel • 1/2 step ahead: Gangs (p. 125-126) • NYC crime, from Blink • MLK v Malcom X (107)

  26. 6 Conditions for change: (People are open, arrested, or closed) • Potential in the mind/brain • Solutions to current level problems • Dissonance and uncertainty • Insight into causes and alternatives • Barriers identified and resolved • Consolidation and support

  27. Stages of Change • Alpha (peak) • Beta (exit) • Gamma trap (barriers) • Delta surge (enter) • New Alpha (new peak)

  28. Stages of Change • Alpha (peak) • Beta (exit) • Gamma trap (barriers) • Delta surge (enter) • New Alpha (new peak)

  29. 7 variations of change • 1) fine-tune (horizontal) - new techniques • 2) Expand-out (horizontal) - windows 95, 98 • 3) Strech-down (oblique) - hints of old, non-profits learn from corp. organization • 4) Strech-up (oblique) - hints of new, going green • 5) Break-out (vertical) - revolutions • 6) Up-shift (vertical) - evolution • 7) Quantum (vertical) - many stages (industrial to info age)
