The World View is about Survival in Phase I, with ideals such as
Benefit and Self Preservation and Security. Information is simply data, where the practice group can work only for basic task assignment and scheduling at a transactional level. Only I give you what you want, and in exchange you give me what is due to me, is relationships seen as transactional. With very little personal sharing or trust, relationships are very limited.
The world view in Phase II is doing what is needed to belong to the
party. Awareness is data or information packets provided as solutions that are bundled. By incorporating previous strategies and knowledge to tackle new challenges, the team succeeds. Except on issues that they feel very comfortable about, the person will not speak up in a group. This individual will listen to the needs of a consumer and attempt to find the best product for them. Out of the question will be a personalized approach. At a personal level, it will control the relationship to belong, be accepted and realize who is in charge.
The view of the world in Phase III is more nuanced. It is now
internalized and service-oriented to become self-initiating. Values such as learning, listening and trust surround it. It is a collaborative point of view. Awareness is comprehension. The practice culture is distinguished by its capacity to develop new, imaginative and personalized solutions. Relationships are also founded on honesty, openness and cooperation.
The world view in Phase IV has to do with Interdependence's global
relationship. Knowledge and Awareness are realistic global knowledge where partnerships are co-partnering or co-creating a brand new product and service. The practice group operates at the same degree of innovation and openness as in Phase III, but works internationally and is most frequently virtual.
Different ideals underpin all four stages. It is also necessary to note,
however, that individuals working at these levels do so tacitly - they are not completely aware of how they are doing what they do. The explanation is that we work on routines and we internalize our beliefs and skills. We now have a methodology that tests values and can make an individual explicit in these processes. We are able to choose to work at far higher levels when this happens. This is especially important for communities of Phase II practice seeking to transfer the potential to higher levels.
