Support resources include: downloadable model information, stories, application case studies, an organisational self-assessment tool, seminars, workshops, retreats, a "learning community" of users and a video presentation.

The team with three brains
James Thornton in “You Have Three Brains” for TheBiggestIdeas.com reports on research by Paul D Maclean on the ‘triune’ brain. Apparently Maclean’s research suggests that we each have, not one but, three brains nested within our skulls – a lizard brain, a dog brain, and a human brain.
