The Intentional Decisions Model

Intentional Decisions is a compelling model for raising awareness of the possibility of choice (a variety of choices), serves as an ethical framework for our choices, and empowers us with the ability to decide (the process of choosing, i.e. pick one).

The model is based on the fundamental assumption that there is always a choice. It is based on the same three dimensions in all cases - empathy over sympathy, proactivity before reactivity, and engagement instead of attendance.

Our beliefs control our perception and perception creates reality

The intentional decisions (ID) model, co-developed and formulated by Stellan Nordahl, does three things; first, it makes choices available, second, it reinforces the choice, and third, it serves as an ethical framework.

In a long-term perspective, decisions that take us to Creator-mode are the most sustainable on all levels – personal-, group-, organisational- and societal level. A strategy to work with the ID-model could be expressed as follows (the numbers also indicate where to start):

  1. Be aware of your Resources and find a strategy to maximise them.
  2. Identify and boost processes that take you to Creator-mode.
  3. Identify and shut down processes that take you to Victim-mode.
  4. Define your Creator of Possibilities, that is what you want to experience.
  5. Define your Victim of Circumstances, that is what you want to leave.
  6. Raise your Consciousness and what is important to you.
  7. Define powerful concepts and beneficial assumptions in your life and make them your paradigm.
  8. Practice your strategy in your day-to-day life to create life affirming habits.

With Intentional Decisions we can participate in making the shift from becoming best in the world to be best for the world. To create a sustainable society and a world based on collaboration, co-creation and life affirming intent.

The Intentional Decisions model is also one of the key models serving as design criteria for Emprogage.

EMPROGAGE consists of a group of consultants who share the desire to make the world a bit better. Our three words empathy, pro-activity, and engagement do not only form the basis of our business philosophy, but also form our name EMPROGAGE. We believe in the power of the individual to make a better world through their conscious decisions. And together we work for what is best for the world. EMPROGAGE is our context and our meeting place. We are creating the future together.

Emprogage was founded at the end of 2018 and is collectively owned by 15 Emprogagers. Emprogage's way of working is self-organizing and co-creative. At the beginning of 2018 over 40 people were involved in the design of Emprogage. Emprogage is perceived as a web of life - we use the tree as a metaphor. An adaptive and fluid cell structure provides Emprogagers as well as Co-creators the opportunity to engage in projects they perceive as meaningful. The ownership of Emprogage is through the individual companies its members have established themselves. That means Emprogage is at the same time a personal company as well as a collective. The aspect of non-duality is found in many aspects of Emprogage's way of working, for example in the collective leadership responsibility and decentralized decision-

The Emprogagers have experience in facilitation, transformation work, and leadership development and are involved in many co-creations. For an overview of services and currently involved projects visit Emprogage.com.

    Emprogage's Fundamental assumptions (Roots)

    Our roots represent the fundamental assumptions that Emprogage holds - living in symbiosis with nature, making intentional decisions, and creating together. They are based on the main stories of humans as part of nature and being conscious agents that always have a choice.

    The Emprogage Being

    Emprogage is not an ordinary consultancy. But what makes it different? Is it its Emprogagers or their co-creations? The self-organization in a dynamic cell structure? Working for what is best for the world? Or making intentional decisions and having the fundamental assumption that there is always a choice?

    The Tree Metaphor

    Ken Wilber's AQAL model provides a holistic and non-dual perception of the world. That complex worldview provides an alternative to linear models. The Tree Metaphor represents different fundamental assumptions compared to the machine metaphor on which the paradigm we phase out is build upon.

    Cirkularitet, kretslopp och ekosystem

    I Emprogage har vi en stark önskan att lära av andra och samtidigt bidra med de tankar och de erfarenheter vi har och skapar. Vi ser att fler och fler aktörer redan har delar av kretsloppsekonomin men hur kopplar vi dem samman på ett smart sätt? Detta är en av de stora fördelarna vi ser med CirEko såsom medlemsorganisation - en möjlighet till lärande, testbäddar och innovation.
