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.

Blended learning journey
The Spiral Dynamics fundamentals level 1 training is a blended learning journey. The online environment contains lessons and assignments you can do at your own pace. Some exercises you do with a buddy that you choose at the start of the training. During 8 instructor-led sessions there are lectures and Q and A sessions. At the end of the journey you get the chance to present an analysis to the group and have a conversation about it.

Spiral Dynamics level 1 certification
Upon successful completion of the course, you obtain a Spiral Dynamics level 1 certificate, issued by The Don Beck Spiral Dynamics Integral Foundation.
The foundation has designed the certification process to ensure students that they will learn the model as described by Professor Clare W. Graves, Dr. Don Beck and Chris Cowan.

Dates and times
Besides the online learning material, there are 8 instructor-led online sessions of 2 hours. All session are recorded (only accessible to participants), so if you miss a session, you can catch up. Each session starts at 17:00 CET (Central European time).

Who benefits
This training is open to anybody with an interest to learn. Some of our students already know the model, for others it is completely new, the training is designed in a way that both will benefit.
Many experience that while on the surface Spiral Dynamics may seem easy to understand, once you start applying it you need a much more in depth understanding not only of the value systems but also on the dynamics of change.
