Dr Rica Viljoen’s research on
inclusivity, which was a significant aspect of her doctoral
thesis, gained widespread recognition for its potential
impact in the field of Management, Spirituality and
Religion. In 2008, the Academy of Management acknowledged
her model as one of the ten most promising contributions to
the field. Since then, this approach, which emphasises
listening to the voices of the entire social system, has
been successfully implemented in 42 countries, engaging more
than 100000 participants. Due to her contributions, Rica
received the prestigious CEO award from the Institute of
People Management (IPM), both nationally and
internationally. She was further recognised by the South
African Board of People Practices for her contribution to
the field of study. She is an associate with the Da Vinci
School for Business Leadership, Regenesys University and
Meridian University. She supervised more than 100 PhDs and
Masters Studies. Apart from her academic endeavours, Rica
was the founder member of Mandala Consulting, a respected
organisation dedicated to organisational development and
research. She worked closely with the late Dr Don Beck and
Dr Loraine Laubscher. She established the Centre of Human
Emergence: Africa and has become an international recognised
thought leader in spiral dynamics and integral research.
Rica serves on the board of the SABPP as vice chair for the
last two terms and was recently selected to the
international board of the International Society for the
Psycho-analytical studies in Organisations. She also joined
the board of the Don Beck Spiral Dynamics Integral with the
purpose to further the field of study and is a senior
research member in a project to revisit the Graves archives.
Rica published several books and consults to organisations
in relation to Inclusivity, Culture and strategic HR issues.
