The Mandalan[i] Quest is an ongoing vocation that has evolved over many years. It began with discontent on many levels arising while
working in manufacturing and relating businesses involving the automotive industry. In particular, I found decision-making profoundly
vapid of professed values that hung on the walls or were otherwise "mouthed" by these organizations. Values were routinely overridden
by short-term thinking and me-first mentality. Additionally, I found efforts to change organizations gripped in similar manner; programs
were generally piecemeal quick-fix episodes with extraordinary failure rates. Guru of the month was more real than myth.
My natural
propensity to see systems work together and long experience in integrating computer-based information systems led to what I now consider
a true Human Systems Integration[ii] whose main thrust is to help individuals and organizations build greatness in themselves. Excellent
change efforts continue to fail to survive over time.
The Mandalan Quest has two interrelated parts that both standalone and support each other. The first part is the Human Systems Integration (Mandalan IC Excel). The second part is a system of stories (The Mandalan Chronicles) designed to build higher levels of consciousness necessary to understand and effect deep change while also being exceptional life tales.
