Complexity

If you are confronted with complex problems or want to make sense of the turmoil in our world, Spiral Dynamics is a great instrument to help you.

The model gives insight into the deeper values that drive people and how we have very different worldviews that provide us with different problem solving capacities. It looks beyond race, ethnicity and nationality to what binds us and what drives us apart.

As our societies and companies keep growing more complex, Spiral Dynamics guides us into how this change happens and what solutions can be best used at different levels of complexity.

Application of Spiral Dynamics

Organizations

Organizations use Spiral Dynamics for guiding culture change, in Human Resource practices or to improve team collaboration. It is used to analyze internal culture, teams, but also the external context such as markets and the social environment in which organizations function.

Social change

Spiral Dynamics has been used in social change, varying from local projects to improve multicultural neighborhoods to guiding the transition from Apartheid to democracy in South Africa. It helps us look beyond nationality and race to the deeper values that drive people.

Personal growth

Spiral Dynamics is used in personal development and coaching. Many use the insights to understand and improve their interaction with others in teams or other social contexts and to understand their personal preferences and pitfalls.

What our learners say

Customer Relation Management Assistant, Value Consult, Jakarta

Very engaging and fun. Widens my perspectives about how people develop in community. For those who closely works with people, whether in organizations and/or community, Spiral Dynamics can provide insights into the interactions between people and their environment and how it shapes as well as affects each other.

Stephan Becker, Team Leadership Coach,  Canada

Undoubtedly, this course's distinctive advantage lies in its unparalleled approach to evaluating VALUES, both in personal and professional contexts. This unique perspective offers insights that are rarely found in conventional coaching methodologies.
Enneagram Keys Inc.,

Karine Ségelke, YZA Coaching, France

I strongly recommend this course to any professional  who looks for a practical tool and enhanced skills about innovative management taking into account the dynamics between employees values and the culture and structure of the organization they work for.

Marc Mathys, Paradigm21, Switzerland

This training gave me a deeper access to working with spiral dynamics in organizational transformation.

David Martí Garcés, Coach. Barcelona, Spain

Since I wrote the foreword to Reinventing Organizations in its Spanish edition, I have often been asked "What do I have to do to become Teal?" Thanks to the window opened with this course, I invite all of you to change this question, and to focus, to begin with, on observing the value system from where we operate right now. And to enjoy the evolutionary journey.

Milos, organizational coach, 39, Serbia

Great instruments and model to work with leaders or for transformations, especially if culture change is desired or needed - in any culture as the model is not Western leadership/culture based or biased.

Vincent, 49, researcher in engineering and yoga teacher

A brilliant Spiral Dynamics training adapted to an on line format. Learn the levels and colors, with historical background, take the time to change your way of thinking, give a new sight to your life and the human situations you approach.

Jean Denys JOUBERT, consultant, France.

Great course, with an excellent balance between concrete cases, useful debriefing, and excellent material on the platform.


Roman Passarge, consultant and coach, Germany

From my point of view, this was a very applicable, practical training for the application of Spiral Dynamics and, above all, the online assessment developed by ValueMatch. The size and rhythm of the online group was great. I will be able to make good use of the knowledge and the assessment in my day-to-day consulting and coaching work.
