John Forman is the Managing Partner of Integral Development Associates. For more than 15 years, John has advised organizational leadership and management in areas ranging from culture change and leadership counsel to strategic planning, organizational development, cultural diversity and complex communications issues. He has been a student of consciousness, science and spirituality for substantially longer than that, and worked as an executive one-person think-tank at a mid-sized consulting firm for more than a dozen years in addition to his other responsibilities. It was in that capacity reporting directly to five CEOs in two organizations that John expanded his studies to include complexity, systems-thinking, theoretical biology and developmental psychology, among other disciplines, as these apply to organizations, management, leadership and change.
Over the past six or seven years, John has been applying facets of this study and experience through the lenses of integral theory and methodology to "midwife" the alignment of client organizations' staff, management and leadership with their fundamental purpose, thinking/coping systems, processes and behaviors, as well as with the organization's environment. It was in this context that John became a founding member of Ken Wilber's Integral Institute and an instructor at Integral University's Leadership/Business domain and Congregational Ministries domains, as well as a founding partner of Integral Development Associates.
