The business world is undergoing a major
paradigm shift from seeing organizations as machines to seeing
organizations as sustainable Living Systems. This new paradigm
changes: 1) the way organizations view people as collaborative partners;
2) the way organizations view change as needing to be sustainable; and 3)
the way organizations take responsibility for their impact on the
environment.
A paradigm is a basic core mindset that directly affects how we think, act, feel, approach relationships, problem solve, make assumptions, and deal with change. Simply put, it represents how we view the world around us. As Carl Jung pointed out, changing paradigms involves the dynamic dance between the new and the old.
It involves moving safely with a foot in both worlds: moving into the new
world of growth while tracking the old world of self-limiting patterns.
This place of uncertainty between the new and the old is where most organizations get lost.
At Powers Consulting we realize that in order to cultivate sustainable
change —change that is ongoing, supports the life of the culture,
and is a win-win for everyone—an experienced guide and ally is
essential.
Powers Consulting guides your organization and provides maps for
navigating this journey between the old and the new. For your convenience,
we have included definitions of the terms we
commonly use to describe our process.
We use an integral approach that combines the principles of Living Systems
with cross-cultural wisdom and practical business sense. Our practical
tools, methods, and strategies produce successful, tangible results. You’ll
experience the results. |
