What is Spiral Dynamics?

Spiral Dynamics is attracting attention all over the world for its power to explain human behavior. From interpersonal conflict to organizational change and national upheaval, Spiral Dynamics offers a framework for understanding and resolving challenges in human relationships at every level. Consultants, trainers, educators, and coaches around the globe are turbo-charging their skills by adding this approach to their repertoires.

The study of Spiral Dynamics enables us not only to understand human development and motivation but also to gain profound insights into ourselves and our relationships with others. Almost from the moment of birth, we are repeatedly faced with the need to reorganize the way we think in order to perform new and ever-changing tasks. Spiral Dynamics helps us open a window into the roots of human behavior, which is fundamentally a process of change, reorganization and increased awareness.
