**1. Introduction**

This chapter describes the virtuous circle of an idea, giving meaning to the principles "knowledge generates knowledge" and "we cannot give what we do not have." It describes the phases of the gestation of an idea, including its development, dissemination, and practice, as a model of articulation in daily life. This is the case of the Fifth Systemic Helix (Quinta Helice Sistemica [QHS] in Spanish) methodology, which is oriented to generate actions of articulation and integration of all sectors of society as a strategy to find solutions and eclectic proposal of multidisciplinary methods, which converge in the sum of specialized talent. The QHS methodology convenes the voice of experts from academies, companies, associations, consulting firms, and government to jointly develop analysis of initiatives of the topics of interest in the ecosystem of society for its sustainable development.

The idea of the QHS methodology was born when taking a doctoral class in Global Development Studies in 2008, during which theories of global development and international systemic competitiveness were espoused and discussed. In the context that was developed and proposed, the QHS methodology is linked to the characteristics
