This seminar will provide training in the Graves Values 
                  Technology. The Graves Levels of Existence Values Model is based 
                  upon over thirty years of ongoing research into how people think 
                  and make decisions, and how thinking changes for individual 
                  and large systems. Although there are many useful theories of 
                  human development, none incorporates more power or precision 
                  than this model. 
                   The power of this approach opens a new domain for understanding 
                  diversity -- not of types and traits, but of world views and 
                  disparate realities. In a high-quality, productive workplace, 
                  these often conflicting views must not only coexist but cooperate. 
                  The precision of this model lies with recognizing that, while 
                  every person is unique, there are common themes in human thinking 
                  that exist in varying proportions in all of us. Once these common 
                  structures can be identified, it becomes possible to match people 
                  with jobs that they can do naturally and to design management 
                  systems that fit congruently with those being managed. 
                   
                  How to identify and utilize the values that drive your people.

                    -  Identify the eight basic "value world views" and apply

                      on world views 
                    
 -  Create alignment in a group
