Joel Barker shows you a new way to look at your organization. He helps you understand your paradigms– those sets of rules and filters that you use to look at your world.

You’ll see your organization as a forest of paradigms, divisions, departments and teams that are all deeply invested in their own way of doing things. Find out what happened when all their paradigms shift and the rules are rewritten.

In Paradigm Partners, you’ll identify the paradigm partners in your organization. Although each views the world through very different eyes, each has a role in moving your organization forward.

The first is the paradigm shifter, who discovers the path to the brand new territory. Next is the pioneer, who marks the boundaries of the new land. And finally, the paradigm settler, who moves in and puts down roots. You’ll learn how these partners react to problems and change.
