Don Beck, founder of Spiral Dynamics Integral (SDi), presents a fascinating overview of what might lie ahead of us in the coming decade, based on the map of human growth and development offered by Spiral Dynamics.

Far from being merely an armchair exercise, the insights that developmental models such as SDi bring to the table are of importance for any individuals interested in human change and transformation—individual, political, environmental, social. Developmental studies, although not the whole picture, are such a significant part of the whole picture that any approach to human change that does not incorporate them is likely to fail, often spectacularly.
