Why is the world the way that is is now? How did it get to be this way, and how will it change in the future? What fundamental changes are upon us, and how will this affect me? A paradigm is a way of looking at the world and a way of acting in the world. Recognizing and understanding paradigm shifts allows us to understand the fundamental changes that we are going through.
Ideally, feedback offers wonderful opportunities for improvement in the creative process. Giving and receiving feedback well is not easy, however. All too often, those giving feedback fall into judgment or giving advice, and those receiving feedback become overwhelmed and defensive: we find it hard not to take it personally.
These feedback formats – adapted from existing feedback and thinking techniques – will help you to break through usual feedback patterns and to separate thinking from emotion. Feel free to use the videos, powerpoints and handouts in your own sessions. These formats are specifically for group peer feedback sessions on work-in-progress – if your situation is different, you will need to adapt them. Good luck!

Why do we do the things that we do? And: how could we do things differently? All of our thinking and actions are based on assumptions, most of which remain unexamined. We can analyse our assumptions in order to reframe our approach and experiment with new actions. We can do this with personal questions, organisational projects, and large societal paradigms.

The world is changing rapidly on many levels. This is a challenge for established businesses but also provides great opportunities for innovative approaches. Paradigm shifts help us to make sense of these momentous changes: we analyse the disruptive consequences and golden opportunities of paradigm shifts in your sector.
We use the Reframing methodology to overturn our core beliefs. By questioning our assumptions, we can start to think differently about products, projects, stakeholder, business models and customers. We design experiments based on radical assumptions to turn our innovative thinking into immediate action.
This workshop can be customized from a half-day to a two-day programme. It has been given for small teams of 6 people, but also for groups of 120 participants.

Scarcity, the feeling of never having enough, seems to be a fundamental value in our society and in economics. What if we started from the standpoint of abundance instead? What different strategies will we discover for dealing with the natural world, with our economy and for our own choices in life? Understanding the shift to abundance helps companies and organisations to contribute to their mission. We can all design and shape the future through our professional roles. Change the world by changing your thinking.
