Title: Elaborate on the Effective Work Environment framework v3.0
Subtitle: How it relates to EWE v2.0, and how it corresponds to the EvoMap and how it addresses the drastic challenges of the mankind.
A few weeks ago I published the new version of the Effective Work Environment framework on the Home of EWE. It is the 3.0 version. Here I would like to share a bit more of the context with you.
I had a moment of reflection over the EWE framework v2.0. A simple realization struck me - even after drawing The EvoMap expanding the evolution beyond Achievement-Orange and Pluralistic-Green, the EWE v2.0 was still rooted in those two stages of organizational development. As simple and obvious as it sounds now, I admit it took me some time to realize that the latest EvoMap was not in synch with the latest EWE framework v2.0. So here it is, tell me what you think. Now both these assets convey the same coherent perspective.
There is also a realization on top of the new version that I need to share with you: the EWE 3.0 and the EWE 2.0 do not exclude each other, in specific v3.0 does not invalidate v2.0 - they coexist. Why? Because they coexist on different levels of the organizational development. The EWE 2.0 is perfectly fine and valid within the set of organizational development stages starting from Conformist-Amber to Pluralistic-Green. Looking at your organization from the perspective of the EWE 2.0 provides you, as a transformation agent, all you need to develop maturity of your organization. At the same time you may use the EWE 3.0 as a north star for the developmental efforts and to develop awareness of the next stages of development and the key aspects of importance. Clearly, the EWE 3.0 is the choice on the Evoluitonary-Teal stage as it transcends v2.0 with its built-in focus on evolutionary issues we as a mankind envounter.
So actually I should have a visualization that presents both versions of the EWE framework on a single image, where the EWE 3.0 resides on a plane above the 2.0 plane. (Please help me with drawing this image!)
And as the last but not least, I am not sure whether the Effective Work Environment still holds as a valid name for the EWE3.0. Apparently it is not about internal matters of organizations, namely about their effectiveness anymore, but more about organizations contributing to and shaping the external reality of mankind by pursuing evolutionary purpose, being guardians of human integrity, development of societies and sustainability of the global ecosystem.
Looking for a relation to the Integral theory, the EWE v3.0 is further down the line of development from EWE v2.0 by introducing evolutionarily more mature aspects than the EWE v2.0 focused on. And this correctly represents my current understanding that the era of linear evolution of capitalist business is challenged by the drastically changing Life Conditions - a call to action for all of us to redefine our existing Value Systems to result in Behaviours that will reflect the need to protect mankind and the global ecosystem from the sustainability issues we currently encounter.
