What is Spiral Dynamics
• It makes processes transparent and provides tools for effective supervision of
changes
• So you can effectively manage complex issues:
- You will see a clear link between people and organization
- You will get insight into the impact of organizational changes
- You're content aware of how different deeper value systems interact,
collaborate and / or conflict
- You have more insight into how to manage different value systems
- You are able to achieve a transition from one value system to another
