VISION
We envision making a difference in all the things we do, teach and practice by offering the principles and concept of integral
management systems the foundation of which is integral science expressed in various disciplines, methodologies, modalities and
practices that offers a new perspective leading to a paradigm shift. The purpose of Integral Transformation is to assist in
unfolding inherent potential, both an individual's unique capacity for self-expression and also the potential of human nature we
all share, which perennial wisdom holds to be infinite spiritually. In this endeavor Integral Transformation draws on all relevant
resources, seeking to integrate ancient wisdom and modern knowledge in order to promote individual growth and foster
organizational and societal change, especially ethically and spiritually.
Integral (in’te gral) adj.
Whole; entire; complete; as in
1) Trans/Multi-cultural and cross- disciplinary studies;
2) Bridging Eastern and Western traditions of knowledge;
3) Incorporating analytical, experiential and practical ways of knowing;
4) Joining the transpersonal and spiritual dimensions of life with community service; blending of religious and spiritual values
with the benefits of modern technology;
5) Harmonization of plans, processes, resource decisions, information, actions, results, and analyses to support key organization-

Transformation (Trans’for ma tion) n.
Transformation is, literally, a forming over, a restructuring. By transformation we speak of the transformation of people – specifically
the transformation of consciousness. In this context consciousness does not mean simple waking awareness. Here it refers to the state of
being conscious of one’s consciousness. You are keenly aware that you have awareness. In effect, this is a new perspective that sees other
perspectives – a paradigm shift.
MISSION
The mission of Integral Transformation Group, Inc., is to provide, teach, advocate and share an integral management system (IMS) that
offers a holistic, coherent and integrated approach in developing people and systems as aligned to its corporate or organizational
mission, vision, core values and core competencies. The IMS can be used both for personal and/or organizational transformation.
Integral Transformation is a bridge discipline linking timeless wisdom with contemporary knowledge and skills. As such, it draws from
the well of core spirituality, as well as from the arts, sciences and humanities. The entire range of experience and reflection, inclusive of
the preconscious, subconscious, conscious, and supraconscious dimensions, is considered relevant to lifelong learning in the broadest
and deepest sense of unfolding one's full potential in an integrated way.
CORNERSTONES OF DEVELOPMENT
The foundational paradox is that the "I" as spiritual person is not identical to the "I" as an individual in the world.
Life and/or the world is fundamentally comprised of the biosphere and noosphere and that the development of both should be
inclusive, sustainable, humane and moral to fulfill the utmost transformation of the human family.
Growth does not trickle down, so development efforts must address human needs directly.
Development does not start with goods, it starts with people and their education, organization, and discipline.
No one policy will spur development, an integral management systems approach is needed.
Sustainable development must be socially inclusive and flexible enough to adopt to changing environment.
Development, to be authentic, must start from within the heart of men; only through a new mind can humanity remake itself and
the potential for such a new mind is natural.
Integral Management System (IMS) identifies and applies key fundamentals of various sciences, arts and humanities to articulate a
model of human transformation. Then, on the basis of this model a comprehensive set of modalities is developed for applying key
fundamentals to holistic self-management on the basis of individual assessment which can lead to organizational, social
transformation.
The essence of civilization is not in the multiplication of wants, but in the purification of the human character. Character, at the
same time, is formed primarily by a man’s work, how he works, and how he values his work. Thus any work should be congruent
with nature and the spirit, and it should be within all the elements of this Cornerstones of Development (CoD).
For the ultimate benefit of humanity, businesses, governments, churches and all forms of religions, being the most powerful
institutions of the planet, has to adopt to a new paradigm which respects responsibility for the whole. Every decision that is made,
every action that is taken, has to be viewed in the light of and in the content of that kind of responsibility, that is, to take
responsibility for the whole.
The challenge is to play one's role in life as perfectly as one can, given one's station in life and its responsibilities, without mistaking
one's personhood for the personality it projects. In the analogy of the theater, actors do not confuse themselves with the characters
whose roles they are playing. As persons, we should not fall victim to this illusion created by wardrobe, makeup and paper mache
sets either, through being overshadowed by personality and circumstances. Rather, the challenge is maintaining one's silent center
while being fully involved in the dynamism of life. This is being in the world but not of it.
The natural developmental process itself leads eventually to conscious transformation. This natural unfolding can also be enhanced
consciously by first appreciating its nature and structure in terms of key fundamentals and then applying these fundamentals
intentionally in order to stimulate growth. Using the analogy of horticulture, this conscious and intentional management of
transformation is traditionally called cultivation, the cultivation of the character and one’s soul.

Our current situation — calls for a new paradigm, a new vision subsuming our old assumptions and values. It is time for someone to do for this age what previous heroes and great personalities did for an earlier period. We have overlooked that
part of the need of passing through a watershed of history is the need to find fresh purposes. For the purposes that brought us thus far, by themselves alone, can
no longer suffice as guiding theme for our future. This is the “raison d’ etre” of Integral Transformation Group, Inc.

OUR BUSINESS TEMPLATE
In any development endeavor, we use various management methodologies and concepts to fit the
needs of the client and/or particular objective. We technically call our approach: integral management system. It is practically the use of different management and development principles, processes and
concepts into an integrated cohesive whole. It basically calls for harmonization of plans, processes,
resource decisions, information, actions, results, and analyses to support key organization-wide goals. It
goes beyond alignment and is achieved when the individual components of an integrated management
system operate as a fully interconnected unit within a coherent whole.
We have “redefined” total quality
management (TQM) or even
sustainable development
incorporating our meaning of the
word integral.

Great achievements do not happen by
chance, it is a choice, a decision of
kindred souls with a common vision and
goal. The meaning of earthly existence
lies, not as we have grown used to
thinking, in prospering, but in the
development of soul. The development of
character is at the heart of our
development not just as leaders, but as
human beings. (RMF)
