Understanding Second Tier:


The Mesh of Personal Brilliance with Collective Wisdom –A New Synergy


Restoring memetic balance and depth to our critical problems is the call of our time. This presentation will focus on ways and skillful means to bring the whole Spiral of solutions to bear on our most pressing challenges, such as the environment, social blends and mixtures, cultural emergence (and the Texas Longhorns)! While all of us savor the inspiration in Margaret Mead’s saying that “… a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world…” true memetic equilibrium and depth demand more. It demands a new synergy, which can only be achieved through honoring both the individual self and the group and meshing personal brilliance with collective wisdom. Understanding Spiral Dynamics’s Second Tier means embracing the whole, in both the warm and cool colors, and celebrating the genius of human creativity in all its manifestations, both collective and individual.

Don Edward Beck, Ph.D., has been designing and implementing transformational practices for over thirty years in corporate, governmental and community settings worldwide. He has inspired thousands of people toward a new experience of organizational and personal empowerment through Spiral Dynamics™, his unique values-based model that charts the evolution and emergence of human nature – a bio-psycho-social map of living human systems that focuses on natural designs and offers whole new integral solutions that are ecological, systemic, and life-affirming.
 
In this role as mapmaker extraordinaire, Beck not only charts the way to personal explorations and organizational design and alignment, but is actively engaged in macro-scale geopolitical transformations. Behind the scenes he played a major role in the design of the new postapartheid South Africa and is currently guiding new integral thinking in some of the most complex and dangerous global hot-spots, such as Israel-Palestine. 
 
The founder and owner of The Global Center for Human Emergence and The Spiral Dynamics Group, Beck is a professor at the Adizes Graduate School in California, an adjunct with The Arlington Institute, and a founding associate of Ken Wilber’s Integral Institute. He is also a member of the American Psychological Association, the American Society for Training and Development, the International Paleopsychology Project, and a Fellow at the George Gallup Institute at Princeton. Beck is coauthor of The Crucible: Forging South Africa's Future (1991) and Spiral Dynamics: Mastering Values, Leadership & Change (1996).
