Applications of Gravesian Theory (Spiral Dynamics)
for 2nd Order Change Agents
A special, small group pilot program for leaders, consultants, coaches and facilitators of transformational change in organisations and communities.
Do your clients struggle with leading real transformational change?
Are you tired of seeing so many attempted 1st order change programs fail?
Have you ever been blocked by stakeholders who saw you as a threat?
Do you sometimes wonder if you are being truly effective with your clients?
What if you had a powerful map to navigate the human dynamics of transformational change in organisations and communities?
Make real changes with your clients that other providers can't.
Too many organisations spend large amounts of money, time and effort working with consultants, facilitators and coaches engaging in 1st Order activities and initiatives. This is because they are working from inadequate mental models of how transformational change is and isn't achieved.
In contrast, a skilful 2nd Order change agent is able to navigate and transcend the neutralising dynamics that inevitably arise in the context of systemic change. To do this, you need a meta map and a meta-language that enables you to insightfully and effectively work with the human dynamics that prevent or enable transformational change.
The Gravesian Map of Adult Value Systems Development
The research of Professor Clare Graves was and continues to be truly ground-breaking in describing the different forms of human value systems, their relationships to each other, and how they evolve over time and under specific conditions. It continues to this day to be an essential model and framework for understanding the complexity of human worldview dynamics underpinning much of the 'wicked issues' confronting organisations, governments and communities.
Gravesian Theory has been incorporated into the thinking of many influential frameworks and methodologies including Ken Wilber’s Integral Model and, most notably, Don Beck and Chris Cowan's commercialised version known as Spiral Dynamics.
And yet, for many transformational change agents who have been exposed to Graves' work in one form or another, a common question often arises...
But how do you apply it for 2nd Order change?
This is an often raised question as most Gravesian-based trainings focus mainly on teaching the model itself and may include some rudimentary 1st Order applications. Using Gravesian Theory for 2nd Order change, however, requires additional knowledge and frameworks, specialised skill sets, and different ways of perceiving and understanding how living systems learn and evolve. That's what this special pilot program is all about.
