4
• Simultaneous perspectives, co-arising, tetra-mesh
• Co-nascent and mutually implicated in one another
• Death of fish are the ‘object’ of investigation.
• Empowers one to notice, acknowledge & interact more effectively
Wilber, K. (1995), Esbjörn-Hargens, S. (2012).
Four ways to see the world Four ways the world can be seen
• Action logic => how we make meaning or form a mental model of the world
• Meaning-making structures/dimensions: Doing, Being & Thinking
• Human development as progressive unfolding levels of action logics
• Spiral Dynamics uses layered value systems.
5
Cook-Greuter, S. R. (2002).
Structural-developmental Psychology
• Levels of development comprised of action logics
• Each level transcends & includes the previous
• Also representative of worldviews and cultural value structures
• The more reality included, the more sustainable our solutions

Esbjörn-Hargens, S. (2012).
Lines demonstrate sequential
development with increasing
levels of complexity or depth

• Organize sustainability knowledge with a holistic perspective
• Diagnose / map wicked forces influencing sustainability
• Develop / manage sustainability initiatives targeted to altitude(s)

Witt, A. H. , Witt, N. H. (2013)
Example: Framing communications about renewable energy initiatives to worldviews
CEMS Research Ideas
• Identify structural components of sustainability
– Sustainability Signature / Fingerprint
• Use psychometric tools to measure
• Propose ways to cultivate and strategically engage
• Investigate Sustainability as a line of development
• Include (developmental) levels, lines & types
• Case study: renewable energy, natural resource
management, sustainability leadership?
• Other?
