We are excited to share some important and timely changes to the Barrett Model with you. These changes reflect the wisdom and insights we have gained over the last 23 years. Specifically, they are designed to:
- Engage as many audiences as possible
- Support greater clarity, continuity, and relevance in the marketplace
- Reflect developments in science since Maslow
The new model is a collaboration and joint launch between Barrett Values Centre and the Barrett Academy.
THE BARRETT MODEL
We are shifting from the Seven Levels of Consciousness to the Barrett Model in order to:
- Connect and honor Richard Barrett’s legacy
- Remove any preconceived notions or resistance around the term ‘consciousness’
- Strengthen our brand name in the marketplace so it is one name, similar to Denison, Gallup, Hewitt, and Hogan
By combining the Seven Levels of Personal Consciousness and Seven Levels of Organizational Consciousness into one model, we aim to promote simplicity and clarity when working with clients.
We have made additional changes to further support consistency with our brand by renaming the Cultural Transformation Tools (CTT) to Barrett Analytics and Certified CTT Consultant to Barrett Certified Consultant.
LEVEL NAMES & DESCRIPTIONS
Many of the titles of the levels have been renamed to:
- Leverage the latest scientific evidence
- Mirror present-day issues and areas of focus
- Maintain alignment with ancient wisdom
- Work both with an individual and a group
- Support intuitive understanding without needing additional explanation
Please watch the video below to learn more about why we have made these changes and what they entail:
