Notes:
The quality movement has generated a proliferation of philosophies and approaches to quality practices and techniques. Once businesses successfully solved some of their problems using one of these methods, they would use this method of solving problems as the new model for solving other problems. This ‘paradigm’ then became their model for how to be successful. The word ‘paradigm’ comes from the Greek word paradeigma, meaning model, pattern or example. Management is currently very interested in their existing paradigms. However, a new pattern is beginning to emerge. Companies are finding that their efforts to generate significant results have fallen short of expectation and they now see themselves as having hit a ‘plateau’. These companies are now searching for the next step in moving their business to higher levels. Paradigm shifts can represent leaps of significant change to organizations and may be the necessary ‘next step’ in keeping businesses successful. A paradigm shift process offers an applied approach to making changes as an individual or an organization to move beyond existing paradigms.
