What do we do at the Barrett Values Centre?

WE MEASURE THE CONSCIOUSNESS of organisations by mapping values to what is known as the seven levels of consciousness model. We work in 60 countries and have mapped the values of more than 6,000 organisations since 2007.

We have developed a specific set of assessments for mapping the values of schools.

What are Values?

A SHORTHAND METHOD of describing our individual and collective motivations and what is important to us.

Values can be positive or potentially limiting.

Positive Values: trust, creativity, passion, honesty, integrity, clarity

Potentially Limiting Values: power, blame, greed, status, being liked


5

Why are values important?

AT ANY GIVEN MOMENT IN TIME, the values that are most important to us are a reflection of our unmet basic needs (deficiency needs), and the growth needs associated with the stage of psychological development

we have reached.

Our needs (what we value) are the principal drivers of our behaviors and actions.

What motivates us is the satisfaction of our needs.
