The Local New Zealand Focal Team is part of a global team of international Focal's who form an International support network - to provide the best wisdom and support to our customers - this meets the 'integral Pulse' for 5 Deep's pull to the future.
The "integral pulse" of 5 Deep is to help develop organisations by applying a world leading developmental model called Competing Values, Culture and Change Framework (CVCCF). This produces a compass and map of Social ‘DNA’. (based on the work of Professor, Clare W Graves and John's own PhD 'action research' in the "role of the Individual in Organisational Culture".
John continues the ‘hands-on’ theme with a practical approach (get it done and gain the benefits) with strong interpersonal and presentational skills. This enables the strong development of relationships and team building at all levels of an organisation.
A lifelong believer in learning, John has now become a specialist involved in organisational behaviour, values and cultural issues affecting individuals and organisations. These have previously been barriers to change, innovation and to improving multiple bottom lines. John believes in giving back his experience and skills to the community as an accredited corporate mentor for the NZIM, Business Mentors NZ and UK's DTI.
