Spiral Dynamics™ is a comprehensive model describing the evolutionary unfoldment of human consciousness in individuals, cultures and societies. It describes and makes sense of the enormous complexity of human existence, and shows how to craft elegant, systemic problem-solutions that meet people and address situations where they are.

Dr. Don Beck, who conceived Spiral Dynamics Integral (or SDi for short), and co-authored the book “Spiral Dynamics: Mastering Values, Leadership and Change”, has described it this way:

“Spiral Dynamics™ reveals the hidden complexity codes that shape human nature, create global diversities, and drive evolutionary change. These dynamic Spiral forces attract and repel individuals, form the webs and meshes that connect people within groups, communities and organizations, and forge the rise and fall of nations and cultures.”

Perhaps because it deals so comprehensively with consciousness, leadership and change in individuals and human systems, Spiral Dynamics is attracting much interest within the professional coaching community. Spiral Dynamics (and other parallel integral models) have been incorporated in the curricula of leading coaching schools (e.g. Newfield Network and New Ventures West). It has also been the subject of several well received presentations at recent ICF conferences.
