A SYSTEMATIC APPROACH TO CHANGE
Societal development problems are more complex than generally assumed. The predominant view is that to “solve” them, we need to apply technical solutions – solutions that can be found elsewhere and technically competent personnel can bring to bear their expertise on the problem and “solve” them. Complex development problems also have another dimension - challenges that require the people with the problem to acquire new ways of doing things, to review their values and learn to do better.
This is a process that takes time and focus on the part of individuals, it requires experimenting during implementation, and demands group learning and adaptation. It is an iterative process. The tools and techniques oered by Gurudev enable transformation in individuals towards more awareness of their own emotions and thoughts. With this increased awareness, individuals are more open to self-reflection, reviewing assumptions and constructing a dierent way of seeing, thinking, and working in order to get dierent outcomes in the world.
