What are Key Values?

Years of experience in running values workshops has reinforced the belief that it is better to introduce the language of values using 50 key-values rather than the 128 values The 50 key-values are not an abbreviated list of the 128 values. Rather, they are a grouping of the 128 into 50 sets of related values.

Even though this is the way the Minessence Group has to date approached the gradual introduction, in workshop situations, of the 128 values. We are currently planning to completely drop the key-values approach and replace it with a short list of representative values chosen directly from the 128 values.

Do the Colours on the AVI Values Map have any particular meaning?

Yes. The colours are used to indicate the priority of your values.

From highest to lowest priority the default colours are: Navy Blue - 91 to 100%, Dodger Blue3 - 81 to 90%, Dark Green0 - 71 to 80%, Saddle Brown - 61 to 70%, Red3 - 51 to 60%, Khaki - 41 to 50%, PaleGoldenrod - 31 to 40%, Moccasin - 21 to 30%, PapayaWhip - 11 to 20%, LemonChiffon - 1 to 10%

The colours listed above are the default colours for the online AVI. It is possible for different Values Consultants to use their own colour scheme, however, the categories of priority are the same.
