Dick & Pat Richardson University of Texas – Austin including Environmental Science Institute Intellectual Entrepreneurship Program Center for Environmental Research Fundamental Change to Managing Holistically Change has been slow and spotty, made by the leaders and independent thinkers. What accelerates individual change, and transforms a group? Research Illustration The Evolution of Norms Ehrlich & Levin. 2005. Pub. Lib. Sci., (Biology) How do adaptive changes spread and affect populations when “resistance” to change varies? ~~~~~~~~~~~ The model: Two options exist, but “resistance” to change from one feature to another feature differs with circumstances. Long term result Low change threshold Long term result High change threshold Paradigm change or Natural selection Wide diversity, “fine grained” Long term result Intermediate change threshold Lowering the resistance Evolutionary Long term result Local imitation “Discovery” Learning, esp. from peers Educational Lowering the Threshold • Positive peer pressure, group ID (imitation) • Demonstration with personal satisfaction • Force (acute trauma from defeatsubjugation, cultural change) Discovery Learning •“Discover the ideas rather than instructed” (avoids “ego” paradigm paralysis) • Builds confidence, easily modeled • Enhances creative thinking, innovation HM-GNH in Politics • Bridge ideas: Economics & Happiness, Economics & Ecology • Definition of measure: GNH, Holistic Goal • Power of Combination, Reinforcement: – Incentives: Public appeal, immediate response (policy, publicity, performance) – Results: Cross benefits with old views (correlation of measures, education, evaluation) “You’re right, and try this…” Learning & knowing is discovery, …a process, not a product. “Either all the earth is holy or none is, either every square foot deserves our respect or none does.” Wes Jackson Becoming Native to This Place (1996) West Ranch, Texas Savory Center for Holistic Management West Ranch, Texas Savory Center for Holistic Management
