Development – from an integral systemic perspective
We see organizations as living systems with the capacity for self-organization ("autopoiesis"). We therefore regard it as a main goal of our training, consultancy and support services to stimulate and reinforce this capacity for self-renewal. In supporting organizations, we consider it important to include all relevant perspectives and see matters in their context.
The evolutionary approach to the development of organizations has its European roots at the NPI Institute in Holland. More than 50 years ago, NPI founder Lievegoed described the three phases of development: pioneering, differentiation and integration. Glasl's empirical findings led him to add the "association phase", thereby significantly enhancing the sophistication of NPI theory.
Glasl & Lievegoed (2004) and Wilber (2006) describe the basic principles of development. Their ideas coincide to a great extent and complement each other well (Link Paper 1) Wilber's AQAL map contains five components that we apply successfully to organizations – used alongside Trigon's systemic-evolutionary approach, this produces integral process consulting.
