Focus

Design of a pragmatic meta-framework which can include as many perspectives as it is humanly possible to integrate and illustrate in an all encompassing system. The purpose of this system is to frame, advocate and illustrate the benefits and values of integrating 2nd and 3rd loop learning in the business domain. This is done with deep respect for the individual and culture, and capacity building in a sustainable system designed to include depth and scan; in other words, as much of the spiral as the moment will allow.
