Themes Overview
EcoTypes themes gather together the fifteen EcoTypes axes into three underlying groups. If you take a look at correlations between the EcoTypes axes (perhaps better understood via network visualization, updated for 2018-19), you’ll see that these axes are by no means independent of each other.
The three resultant themes were derived using a procedure called factor analysis; see details here. Each themes embodies a key question and creative tension (thus the well-known Chinese paradox icon) underlying multiple axes, and offers us opportunities for engagement around these creative tensions.
