For her MeshWORK projects in rural South Africa, Gernia Van Niekerk has developed a more action-oriented version of 4Q/8L as a follow-on to mapping via the Don Beck-Ken Wilber original. It is sometimes known as 'The Gernia Variation'.

This works by:-

• Structuring needs according to the 6 vMEMES of Spiral Dynamics 1st Tier (Q-1)

• Auditing the resources available and surveying the organisations and institutions that must be aligned to co-operate and participate (Q-3)

• Identifying ways and means - ie: projects - to drive the development programme (Q-4)

• Auditing the skills required to run and sustain the projects and the utlisation of existing technology at each level (Q-2)

By bringing in Skills & Knowledge, Gernia links 4Q/8L to all of the neurological levels.
