Integrativeness Through Pursuing Integrative Intelligence as the Way Forward

Abstract

This chapter presents the overall picture which emerged from various perspectives on managing VUCA. This holistic and integrative view has been articulated in a way to be able to relate to the three pillars of self management—Swadharma, Swavalamban and Swaraaj. Furthermore, it attempts to build a case for Integrative Intelligence as a way forward to be able to inculcate the ability of integrative-ness to cope with VUCA. Integrative Intelligence is based on the five principles : integral unity; doing without doer-ship; the notion that we are all connected; holistic attainment of goals and an integral view on actions which are detached from fruits. By increasing such intelligence, there is more comfort with contextual volatility, uncertainty, complexity and ambiguity (VUCA).
