Starting point for successful development
The undercurrent
In the undercurrent lies the unconscious driving force behind the behavior of the individual, team, and the entire organization. This force is determined by our individual and collective experiences, which are stored in the drivesDNA™.
It's a deeply rooted mechanism intended to keep us on course based on our past experiences. However, the question arises whether those experiences and the lessons we've unconsciously learned still optimally align with the circumstances we find ourselves in now.
Spiral Drives provides you with answers to that question by offering detailed insight into the undercurrent at various levels. You'll know which path to take to truly develop practical attitudes and behaviors for success in the present moment.
We provide you with effective tools and instruments focused on the collective, team, and individual undercurrent. Each has its own characteristics, influence, and effect. You can learn all about them on this website.
"Dive into the undercurrent and unravel the driving force behind behavior—the key to successful development."
Application across three layers
The application focuses on three layers, the three different undercurrents: collective, team, and individual. There, we provide insight and control over the specific dynamics of each undercurrent. It makes the effect on the desired development concrete and tangible, whether it is strengthening or inhibiting. With this specific knowledge, you are able to make development successful. Whether it concerns individual employees, teams, or the organization, you choose which layers to involve in the development.
