We've just returned from spending a few days in Santa Barbara engaging in some continuing, personal and professional development looking at the most recent applications of Spiral Dynamics with Dr Don Beck.
It was great to hear, see and feel how different people are applying a 'biopsychosocial' model to their work during this seminar on the advanced applications of Spiral Dynamics Integral.
Dr Don led the programme, helping us to delve deeper into the theory and practice of this exciting, leading edge, yet surprisingly often, misunderstood technology for personal, professional, cultural and societal evolution.
Darrell Gooden shared some experiences of how he has been working with SD within the US Navy. Elza Maalouf outlined a case study from the work she is doing in Kuwait with the management structure of a well known restaurant and finally, a very interesting and inspiring analysis of the current financial situation from an SD perspective by Said E. Dawlabani.
We've been applying Spiral Dynamics Integral thinking for some time now as it fits perfectly with our four dimensional approach to energising the evolution of creativity, innovation and communication in organisations. Over the few days we spent together, the team of delegates worked on case studies, discussed our own projects and presented our experiences through the lenses of spiralling vMemes. It was great to share our thoughts and experiences with fellow SDi practitioners and refresh our understanding by talking things through. It was also fantastic to get up close and personal with Dr Don to explore how we will all be moving Spiral Dynamics Integral forward into the future.
Our Mojos have well and truly been re-energised by a combination of the seminar and the Californian sunshine, so we're looking forward to spiralling back to work this week.
