Introduction
(Source: Wikipedia) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spiral_Dynamics
Spiral Dynamics (SD) is a model of the evolutionary development of individuals, organizations, and societies. It was initially developed by Don Edward Beck and Christopher Cowan based on the emergent cyclical theory of Clare W. Graves, combined with memetics as proposed by Richard Dawkins and further developed by Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi. A later collaboration between Beck and Ken Wilber produced Spiral Dynamics Integral (SDi). Several variations of Spiral Dynamics continue to exist, both independently and incorporated into or drawing on Wilber's Integral theory. In addition to influencing the field of philosophy in the form of both integral theory and metamodernism, Spiral Dynamics is noted for its applications in management theory and business ethics, and as an example of applied memetics.
Spiral Dynamics describes how value systems and worldviews emerge from the interaction of "life conditions" and the mind's capacities. The emphasis on life conditions as essential to the progression through value systems is unusual among similar theories, and leads to the view that no level is inherently positive or negative, but rather is a response to the local environment. Through these value systems, groups and cultures structure their societies and individuals integrate within them. Each distinct set of values is developed as a response to solving the problems of the previous system. Changes between states may occur incrementally (first order change) or in a sudden breakthrough (second order change). The value systems develop in a specific order, and the most important question when considering the value system being expressed in a particular behavior is why the behavior occurs.
Spiral Dynamics Integral (SDi) is a theoretical and pragmatic model for understanding the dynamic forces at work in human development and change processes. Knowledge about SDi is extremely valuable for both understanding the versatile needs (values and motives) of individuals, teams, organizations and society and for aligning them in the most optimal and effective way. The model has many applications. Please find more information about this on the page Applications. Below you will find a short explanation of the theoretic fundamentals.
SDi is a conceptual framework and perspective, enabling us to map complex human issues with clarity, and supporting us to develop a new view on society, organizations and people. The SDi change dynamics tools are characterized by its clarity, integrality and compassion. The SDi framework and its tools have been successfully applied internationally to achieve transformations on an individual level, in teams and in organizations and in local communities and societies as a whole.

SDi is based on three important pillars:
1. The Value Systems (also known as motives and colors)
2. The Change Dynamic (the part of SDi which describes how change and development work)
3. The Integral Theory (pragmatic model developed by Ken Wilber, which describes how personal, organizational and societal developments are in constant interplay with each other).
