EUM Lens | Existential Universe Mapper by RLC

EUM represents an evolutionary framework and a set of associated tools/ reports that serve the diagnostic and developmental needs of individuals and organizations. The EUM framework has been created by Ashok Malhotra. Major contributing influences have been the work of Prof. Clare Graves, and various strands of Indian philosophical thought such as pluralism and context-sensitivity. The two most popular instruments/applications of the EUM framework are: EUM-I The EUM-I enables an exploration and portrayal of an individual’s identity and role-taking on a wide canvas. Unlike some other tools that are deterministic and are based on an “a priori” construct of types of people, the EUM-I addresses people as vested with a range of potentials, allowing for their unfolding through a process of dynamic engagement with their context. The EUM-I maps the individual both as a “whole”, and as a “part” of the larger context, offering insights on his/her membership in familiar systems, institutions, organisations and the society at large. EUM-O The Organisation Identity Mapper or the EUM-O framework is a lens to explore the myriad relationships that co-exist between the organization, its multiple stakeholders, its ecology, and its individual employees. EUM-O serves both as a diagnostic lens as well as an OD tool to co-design viable organizations and enable strategic fitness. The Organisation Identity report provides deep insights into: - How does the organization perceive itself and what it wishes to become? - How does it deal with various tensions and polarities? - Some of the issues which it needs to address to enhance fitness and be responsive to its context. The EUM framework has helped over 8000+ individuals steer their personal and professional journeys and offered significant insights to craft a substantive transformation agenda for over 200 organisations.
