Bill,
So interesting to see how closely we align in our work! The Resilience Institute aims to provide education and mutual support opportunities for leaders actively exploring real life applications of nature’s wisdom to business. We have barely started our sustainable journey and we have three stages to make it to the place (your Blue Star) where our actions nourish the Earth. I’d love to talk to see how we can best work together. My book, Living form the Heart of Nature: Why Sustainable Values Matter, should be out by the end of the year and it would be great to include some of your work in it.
Warmly,
Kathryn
My dear Kathryn,
Sorry to be so slow to respond.
I’ve taken the liberty to paste in your email followup for the benefit of other site explorers:
Bill,
My work has been about ethics and values for a long time. I work with
values as systems (there are 3) and, since we love them all the same,
some of those values can get in our way. In working on designing new
systems, the context from which they spring means everything.
As I work to educate people and business in the three stages of
sustainability the awareness of what that journey really looks like
slowly dawns. Shaping our actions to conform with the laws of nature
is no small task. The Sustainable Values Set can be used as a
decision-making tool to ensure congruence. As systems begin to be
redesigned the laws of nature need to be foundational. By ” thinking
like nature” we are pushed to be innovative and end up being
sustainable.
Have articulated the values underpinning your work? That might be an
interesting place to start.
Warmly,
Kathryn Alexander

With respect to your original question re exploring to see how we can best work together, I look forward to that conversation.
With respect to my articulating the values that underpin our work I have a bias I’d like to test with you. I have been seeing our true values as those that might be inferred from our patterns of thinking, acting, working, etc. Sometimes these values correspond with what we say they are. Sometimes not. E.g., there are frequently gaps between the Values Statements generated by on organization’s leadership and those that one might infer from their actions.
I tend to think of our “true values” as being a natural consequence of our beliefs (conscious or unconscious; freely chosen or taught). Thus, I think of our beliefs (our story) as more of an independent variable than values.
I think of “principles” as being a potent means of bridging from our beliefs/values into behaviorally anchored principles, e.g., We will integrate authority and responsibility, and know the difference. We will create leaders at all levels, not just a few.
I look forward to a synergy-seeking exploratory conversation at a mutually spacious moment.
Blessings,
Bill@MISA.ws
