up! But on the off chance that I have missed something, I am ready to give it a

lang=EN-CA style='font-size:10.0pt;color:navy'>I’ve been pursing the
combined perspectives of Ken Wilbur and Spiral Dynamics. I think people
(organizations and maybe industries) do have a “center of gravity”
in their developmental consciousness. There are patterns (sometimes
described as memes). It is not that people only have “one”
perspective, because we are at many places at the same time, but there is a
place where we are most comfortable – and that changes. Looking
from a “purple” or tribal perspective a person will primarily see
magic that they do not understand. A “blue” or traditional
manager or organization will tend perceive things in relation to how well it
serves the “hierarchy’s” goals – or the goals of the
boss or God. An “orange” or “modern” organization
will look primarily for projects and results that can be demonstrated. A
“green” perspective focuses on relationships, crossing boundaries
and including diversity. These patterns show up in the language the
people use to describe their experience. They also influence what they
“hear” when we talk to them about OST. </span></font></p>

<p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:.5in'><font size=2 color=navy face=Arial><span
lang=EN-CA style='font-size:10.0pt;color:navy'>So, from my perspective,
gathering client’s perspectives on OST and its impact form different
sectors, countries will help our learning. There are likely other good
uses for the information as well.</span></font></p>
