Spiral Dynamics 2 Course Outline
Spiral Dynamics 2 is a more extensive look into the theoretical base of Spiral Dynamics and how to apply it to real-world situations. Completion of Spiral Dynamics 1 is a prerequisite for participating this course.
This course will deepen your understanding of the Spiral Dynamics model by going further into the theory, examining different applications through case studies, and creating opportunities for you to analyze your own cases, problems, and organizations. Once the basics have been acquired at the Spiral Dynamics 1 level, in-depth applications and complex problems can be analyzed, understood, and discussed through this more encompassing lens. You will learn to use Spiral Dynamics at descriptive, predictive, and prescriptive levels.
