Our Paradigm
The Four “A”s
Awareness, Assessment, Action, and Accountability is a proven blue print of success. From individual change through organizational change to societal change the process is the same. These basic principles organize our efforts to clearly identify the next step for effective action.Awareness
Knowing who we are and where we are at is essential to the change process. The belief that change is possible is the necessary first step. Modernity is all too often rooted in estrangement from connecting with ourselves, our communities, and the natural world. Becoming aware of our own potential and our combined potential when we join with others allows us to have hope that change is possible. Recognizing there is a problem and that solutions are within our grasp is empowering. The directive to “know thyself” is as relevant now as it ever was.Assessment
Too often we jump from identifying a problem to attempting to fix it. A comprehensive assessment of our strengths, as well as times and arenas, when we have had success is essential to effect lasting change. Elucidating our dreams and our values to discover sources of inspiration, clearly identifying the problem, and understanding barriers, are all critical to a holistic view. Only then can we determine a course of action designed to move us closer to where we want to go.Action
Action rooted in a plan with measurable milestones is far more likely to lead to success. Small steps, adequately supported and informed by a comprehensive assessment leads inexorably to where we want to go. Goals based on solutions that are under our own power are the proper domain to exercise our bravery. Faith without works is dead.Accountability
Measuring, following up and reporting back all help us keep on the path of change. Stating our commitments and having an organized process of accountability ensures we stick to the change path and not revert back to our old ways. Creating tools of accountability reminds us that the change process is continuous and ongoing. The 4 “A”s are a loop. As we change and grow our awareness deepens. New data informs our ongoing assessment. Goals achieved sets up new goals and more effective tools of accountability. Whether we are talking about an individual, an organization, or society at large; the process is the same. Truly the 4 “A”s are a process not a destination.
