These two topics are linked by the recurrent theme of creativity and co-operation. The first part focuses on characters and perceptions, using the concept of Spiral Dynamics to explain and describe differences. The second part contemplates complex systems with the cognitions of biocybernetics. The third part consolidates both themes and exemplifies the formation of innovation teams and networks. Methods like the ‘Six Thinking Hats’ and ‘Sensitivity Analysis’ are made mention of. As a result, it is enunciated how a nature-oriented cultural evolution leads to sustainability and supports the cultivation of an ‘Innovative Mind’.
