5.3.3 Desenvolvemento da intelixencia comunitaria de orixe local: unha estratexia en tres fases

A estratexia de desenvolvemento rexenerativo baséase no pensamento dos sistemas vivos e emprega marcos e ideas sistémicas que os membros da comunidade poden aprender e poñer en práctica. Empregamos un meta-marco para involucrar a unha comunidade nun proceso rexenerativo de varios anos. O noso marco mostra un método de aprendizaxe continuo que permite que unha sociedade coevolucione, incluíndo o seu entorno. Este cambio de sistemas está apoiado en tres fases de traballo superpostas: pensamento estratéxico, impulso do cambio de sistemas e procedementos e patróns institucionalizados. Unha comunidade experimentará unha serie de cambios de estado durante estas tres fases, o que lle permitirá ir aumentando paulatinamente a súa capacidade de rexeneración. O marco demostra a transición da autorrealización á actualización do sistema, na que as persoas e os grupos cambian a súa atención de maximizar o seu propio potencial xerador de riqueza a maximizar o poder xerador de riqueza dos sistemas que son maiores que eles mesmos.

This framework describes the effort that is required for a community to become capable of regenerating itself and its economy as an unique, self-reinforcing process. The simultaneous growth of inner and exterior capacities is necessary for each phase. Helping others see and develop their own potential—potential that can be articulated as a contribution towards something bigger than themselves—relates to inner work. It also has to do with enhancing their capacity for self-management so that their activities become more systemically efficient, strategic, and meaningful.

Helping individuals recognize the essence and innate potential of the biological systems they inhabit is part of outer work. In other words, it’s about teaching people a method to see their world as a dynamic, living system so they can make decisions that are actually advantageous for everyone who will be impacted.

By balancing one’s inner and outward labor, one may make sure that while one develops, they are also contributing to the health of the social and ecological systems around them, realizing that these systems are the foundation of both one’s current and future wealth. In fact, reaching one’s full potential as a person requires understanding how to deal with complicated systems. Because of this, the connection of self-actualization and system-actualization is emphasized in our strategy.
