ABSTRACT

The Cultural Transformation Tools, which I will describe in detail in the next two chapters of this book, are based on the Seven Levels of Consciousness Model, which was developed in 1996-7. The Seven Levels of Consciousness Model is based on Abraham Maslow’s hierarchy of needs 1 and aligns with the seven stages of human psychological development. The Seven Levels of Consciousness Model applies to all individuals and all human group structures-organizations, institutions, communities, nations, etc. Annex 11 describes the origins and development of the model. Annex 12 defi nes what consciousness is and how it operates in our lives. The seven levels of personal consciousness and organizational consciousness are described below.
