Quotable Quote:
I am a very critical participant as I've trained along side the best. I feel privileged to have had this opportunity to learn from Don. There was a wonderful wealth of material to review. ~ Also, in the online follow-up dialogue: I appreciated very much the balance of structure and flexibility. I was guided towards an alternative format for my final product that I could use for a practical application. ~ Course participants, April 2012

The moderator was President and Board Chairman of OAO Sberbank Herman Gref. The Russian Premier, Dmitry Medvedev and Dr. Ichak Kalderon Adizes spoke at the event.
The forum was attended by over 2,000 people, including all members of the Russian Cabinet, the regional Governors of Russia, Ambassadors to Russia - among them the Ambassador from the United States, and top business leaders including the Chairman of GAZPROM and the President of LUKOIL.
Despite great potential, Russia remains in 67th place on the global competitiveness scale (see article below). Poor management is a key a problem, according to Dr. Adizes, 'The energy is there but has to be channeled correctly', Adizes told Business RT. News video and article here. |

Spiral Dynamics News:
400 academic leaders from Mexican Business Schools attend Monterrey Tech 3-day event featuring Dr. Don E. Beck!
Academic leaders, including many business faculty from the universities in northern Mexico worked with AGS Ph.D. candidate, Roberto Bonilla, AGS Faculty member Dr. Don E. Beck, and colleagues throughout the 3-day event.
Dr. Beck introduced the Momentous Leap innovations, and how they can integrate all of the NGOs and other resources in a city and/or region to counter the drug culture and other limitations on Mexican progress. The response was very positive to Spiral Dynamics, the Adizes CAPI construct and AGS Ph.D. Candidate Bjarni Jonssons' National Assembly work in Iceland, which demonstrated how to use memetic technology to facilitate a unifying national vision. In all cases, dealing with the deep memetic codes was clearly the key.
Funding for future work - particularly the Vital Signs Monitor, was the subject of forward looking discussions with a large electricity firm, Monterrey Tech and a technology consortium.
November 5-10, 2012: Dr. Don E. Beck teaches Spiral Dynamics: Natural Design at the Adizes Graduate School.

Integral City Conference 2.0
Spiral Dynamics - Special Discount for Level 1-2 Certification
Integral City is a place where many minds, hearts, bodies and souls can converge, confer and collect the best ideas so that our cities can become resilient, intelligent, and strategically in harmony with the Earth.
An Action-Research Laboratory: The Integral City Collective included 60 visionary thought leaders, designers, policy makers and practitioners. The voices of the Citizen, Civil Society, City Employees, and Businesses all contributed to the month-long conversation. This has been an extraordinary opportunity to imagine how a new operating system for a city might look, feel, connect and emerge.
Dr. Don Beck in conversation with Dr. Marilyn Hamilton (at left), was a key Thought Leader. He described the critical contribution of Meshworkers - informed by Spiral Dynamics Values, Change and Leadership capacities - to this vital process.
The Intregral City 2.0 Conference also included special guests such as:
- Architect and urban planner, Gaetan Royer, author of "Time for Cities" and Manager of Metro Vancouver Regional Parks
- Systems ecologist and business strategist Gil Friend of Natural Logic in San Francisco.
- Canadian Sustainability Indicator Network coordinator Christa Rust in Winnipeg, Canada.
The ICC created:
- Integral City 2.0 Expo for listening Free to 36 Live Sessions and interacting with Speakers (and speaker documents)
- Integral City 2.0 eLab for downloading (for a small fee) mp3's of all 36 sessions (plus session notes and 'Harvests')
- Global 400 for Charter Members from 100 cities to continue dialogue and coaching
All participants in the Conference are invited to attend the Spiral Dynamics seminars hosted by Adizes Graduate School November 5-10 in Santa Barbara, California, at a special discount for Level 1 or both Level 1 and Level 2 Certification seminars:
Dr. Marilyn Hamilton: This training is vital for anyone wanting to work as an Integral City practitioner!
Ben Levi: In the past, Adizes Graduate School has offered a significant discount to members of online conferences that Don's taken part in (Integral Leadership Collaborative, Enlightenment Conference). Now they'd like to offer a similar deal for paid members of the Integral City 2.0 conference. The savings is much more than the cost of the conference - it is $600 off the price of Level I and Level II combined). The normal price is $1,650, and Adizes Graduate School is offering paid IC members an opportunity to attend for only $1,050, more than a 35% savings.
Those who cannot attend both Level 1 and Level 2, can attend Level 1 at the discounted price as well (only $525).
If you can attend both sessions, the Inn at East Beach provides special rates of only $700/week!
