An Interactive Mental Model
Paradigms is external to you. It
is a shared and a universally
accepted model providing the
context for understanding and
decision making in a
particular field.
Paradigms influence how we
think,
our
self-awareness and
self-intelligence, how we approach
life
design, govern ourselves,
socialize
and deal with
cultural differences.
Paradigms have a great impact
on how our our economic systems, public institutions and the structures of
our
organizations are configured and
operate.
Paradigms shape our
people skills
and how we
manage people and other
resources.
Paradigm Crisis
Paradigms describe a basis for
anticipation of specific events;
they do not deal with values per
se. When the future is not what
it used to be, the existing
paradigm no longer adequately
explains or predicts relevant
phenomenon, and no replacement
has been established, a paradigm
crisis takes hold.
Embracing a Paradigm Shift
To adopt a new paradigm you need
to open your mind and start
thinking differently,
outside the box.

"The only way a paradigm crisis
can be resolved is by replacing an old, no longer adequate paradigm with a
new and different one that explains and predicts better than the original, a
paradigm shift. Paradigm shifts do not involve simply slight modifications
to the existing model. They instead replace and render the old model
obsolete," advices Jerry Sentell.
