+<blockquote>
+A key concept underlying Integral Theory is to include as many perspectives, styles, and methodologies as possible when exploring a topic
+Integral Theory suggests that four irreducible perspectives (subjective, inter-subjective, objective, and inter-objective) should be consulted when attempting to fully understand any topic or aspect of reality.
+The upper left Intentional (subjective) is the individual’s interior world, which can only be accessed via interpretation. The concerns are individual motivation, changes in people’s values, perceptions, and goals, and the meaning of life.
+The upper right Behavioural (objective) is the individual’s exterior world, in which individual behaviour can be observed. The concerns are changes in the ways people act externally, e.g. voting patterns, consumer behavior, reproductive practices, etc.
+The lower right Social (inter-objective) is the collective exterior world, often referred to as the physical world, or the world of systems and infrastructure. The concerns are objectively measurable changes in natural and constructed external environments.
+The lower left Cultural (inter-subjective) is the collective interior world of the shared meaning of groups, as expressed in the culture. The concerns are shared collective structures, such as changes in languages, cultures, and institutions.
+Chris Stewart applied Integral Theory to scenario planning. He suggested that the two most important criteria for scenarios are relevance and diversity of worldviews to provide appropriate depth and breadth. He proposed a generic scenario method using Integral and provided case study examples. His article provided the foundation for the four quadrant model along with principle of practice (POP) for incorporating them into a generic scenario method model.
+Slaughter (…) imparts an observation of how Integral Theory has enhanced the futurist’s techniques for scenarios, environmental scanning, the T-cycle, and causal layered analysis. For scenarios and scenario planning, ‘In summary, the integral approach allows us to take scenario planning to a new and more capable stage of development. It means that we can go a long way beyond simple, pragmatic ‘mental models’ and the ‘generic business idea’ (themselves innovations in their time) to framing perceptions and the developmental capacities that underlie them. It also means that researchers and scenario planners can be more aware of the multitude of ways in which their own enculturation and interior development directly and profoundly affect everything they do.’ </blockquote>
