Six dimensions.
One whole-system lens.

One living system.
Every part affects the others.
BRITER is different because the pieces are not meant to operate independently. Identity, competencies, relationships, organizational conditions, feedback, decisions, and results continuously influence one another. BRITER helps leaders see the whole system and know where to intervene.
