Description

It enables a systemic and evolutionary development of people, organisations and territories by overcoming the criticality of traditional approaches, which get stuck because of rationalistic reductions in complexity, as well as lack of motivation. This responds to the social sustainability needs highlighted by the UN 2030 agenda. The methodology is based on 3 pillars:

1-evolutionary systemic view of the person;

2-evolutionary systemic vision of the organisation/territory;

3-generation of a development pathway in which the two systems evolve synergistically; it takes the form of the creation of a "development infrastructure" consisting of a "community of directors" and a "community of developers" who will work at a set pace to explore the criticalities of the identity process (of the client/beneficiary), initiating experiments on improvements before going full steam ahead; the course includes the training of specific skills for evolutionary systemic development, called horizontal leadership skills, through transformational learning.

Description of innovative features / Competitive advantages

The methodology proposes several innovations that are in great demand on the market:

1-it boosts motivation, counteracts burnout and responsibly activates staff, optimising work processes with respect to customer/beneficiary spillovers;

2- it generates a new framework of competences, defined as horizontal leadership, for reading and transforming contexts in a systemic and sustainable way; they respond to many market needs as transversal competences, as well as to what is required by the EU (learning to learn, spirit of initiative and entrepreneurship)

3- it innovates the approach to change in consulting and especially training, as it responds to the growing need for pathways that have an impact on work behaviour and work processes, going beyond the mere learning of learners

4- it allows in practice a systemic and evolutionary development, of a holistic type, towards integrated organisations, as required by the international standard ISO 26000 on the Social Responsibility of Organisations and the requirements of social sustainability, also expressed in the UN 2030 agenda.
