Expect Progress: G6
Hexads
Debates about aspects of an institution and the associated activation of people and groups in society leads to an expectation of change for the better. That means there is a readjustment and re-emphasis amongst current societal values and beliefs.
Moving from to an appears to result from the addition of a further level to form hexads
Any can be described as ethical because it is pushing institutions towards what is judged to be "right and good", and potentially forcing members of the public to accept and even identify with these changes.
For society in general, this leads to a driven ethically by alterations to .
For those working actively within the institution, re-orientation means . This change will be driven by ethical i.e. adoption of the new values should be visible within and without the enterprise.
Indicators of Reorientation
Altered Priorities (G62)
Priorities are the lowest level of value (i.e. ) and always exist within actual projects and enterprises. Priorities are brought to bear to determine where resources should be directed and what will count as a preferred outcome.
are intrinsically : it will become evident very soon if a transport service is giving more attention to safety, if a health service is giving more attention to those in poverty, if defence of the realm is responding to weakness in the navy. These are ethical demands.
Given alteration of priorities, those within institutions can fervently discuss , convincingly analyse , thoughfully , skillfully deploy , and selectively handle .
Cultural Adjustment (G61)
is about a readiness to reject damaging and take on a new more beneficial as an ethical requirement
Given such an ethical adjustment, people are freed to fervently promote the , convincingly , thoughtfully , skillfully , and selectively .
Schema
Function:
To develop an awareness that underpins reorientation of behaviour in accord with the values that define the institution.
Quality: Ethical i.e. to adhere to what is believed to be right and good for the institution.
Integration within the Group: The missing levels are irrelevant in each case. For , are associated with a demand for transparency to demonstrate their re-orientaton, but the focus is on the functioning of the enterprise, not on promoting the public interest. For , is associated with active promotion of the public interest, but there is demand for transparency is irrelevant to the general public.
Integration across the Groups: Priorities in practice are dependent on an inner adjustment.
From the diagram at right it is evident that each hexad handles work levels differently. So:
must be g6-ethical for the culture, but is g5-selective for priorities.
must be g5-selective for the culture, but g4-skillful for priorities.
must beg4-skillful for the culture, but g3-thoughtful for priorities.
must be g3-thoughtful for the culture, but g2-convincing for priorities.
must be g2-convincing for the culture, but g1-fervent for priorities.
Psychological Correlate: Mindset adjustment to deal with habit and self-interest.
Institutional Tension: The institution continues its evolution with varying commitment and belief by those involved.
Practical Implications: Multiple modest adjustments and distributed innovations.
Transition
An ethical basis for awareness within the general public and within those working full-time in the institution fosters identification and application of principles that guide the institution.
These principles are the basis for accepting recommendations and are associated with the addition of a further and final level to create the heptad.
On the one hand, these principles put the the in perspective (as described earlier). The principles and the status quo are the basis for any improvement, which is best determined by given due powers.
