Integral Thinking and Spiral Dynamics

Crowdocracy (the book) is one attempt to apply the principles of Integral-based thinking to the wicked problem of governance. Lots to chew on.

In my view, it feels like the technology is there, but some of the environmental factors aren't and too many are vested in the status quo.

Also - trust and self-responsibility. Individually and collectively - are we ready?

Whenever you hear the term "Paradigm Shift," thank Thomas Kuhn. This work, along with Integral theory and Spiral Dynamics has helped me make sense of the transformation that is occurring.

I see the current state of our transformation as being in the "lots of different people tackling the questions, the schools aren't aware of each other" phase of the Revolution.

Alan Watkins is one of Ken Wilber's acolytes. This book applies Integral theory into leadership development.

The best introduction I can think of to Integral theory. The rabbit hole gets deep from here.

The evolution of economies - Spiral Dynamics style

Applied Spiral Dynamics - Use Cases

The way I think about Spiral Dynamics and Integral - Spiral Dynamics is great for dealing with organizations and cultures (macro). Integral speaks best to individual development and growth (micro). Both schools speak to all scales - but this is where I find each works best for the work I am doing.

Don Beck and Chris Cowan's work connects environment, culture, and individual and how they work together (or not) to evolve (or devolve).

This is the subscription site for Ken Wilber's current work. Interesting and challenging.
