Greetings!
In today's environment we need to look forward. We need to grab the opportunities that are available. We need to see those opportunities, which is why in this issue we have focused on the topical area of change and attitude.
"The New Business of Paradigms" is revisited. Joel Barker (the paradigm man) pioneered the concept of paradigm shifts to explain profound change and the importance of vision to drive change within organisations. Will your past success guarantee your future? Have your paradigms shifted?
"Who Moved My Cheese" is also revisited, as at the moment unexpected changes are occurring. How best can people handle these changes? What new opportunities are there?
Attitude is the foundation of productivity. If people come from an attitude where they take responsibility, take initiative, their productivity will increase. The new "Has That Buck Stopped Yet" is a great discussion starter on this topic.
This is a time, that we need to ensure that the people in an organisation have the skills required for their role, plus they need to be improving their skills. I heard a saying the other day "An organisation will not grow beyond it's skill level".
To move forward, and to excel in what we do, we need to take responsibility and embrace change and it's opportunities and continue our development.
Enjoy the newsletter. If there are any specific topics that you would like us to cover in the future, please let us know. |

Has That Buck Stopped Yet? |
|
 What happens when people pass the buck? It has a negative effect on the entire organisation. And negativity spreads very rapidly.
This programme highlights the need for people working at all levels in an organisation to take responsibility. Being pro-active in taking responsibility means employees will be more productive, which will result in an organisation increasing its productivity.
Responsibility - every individual in every workplace has it, but sadly, there are some who don't take it. This animated programme features Tom, an experienced employee who is responsible for inducting Buck, a new recruit, into his organisation. When Tom tries to pass the buck on Buck, we see the consequences for all involved.
It provides excellent discussion-starting material on responsibility in the workplace, and the subsequent benefits to individuals, work teams and for the entire organisation.
Key Training Points:
- Job specific responsibilities
- Collective responsibilities
- Awareness and communication
The programme includes:
- DVD Has That Buck Stopped Yet?
- Comprehensive Leader's Guide
- Participant Workbook
Duration: 6 Minutes
Purchase: $495 +GST

The New Business of Paradigms |
|
"You can and should shape your own future; because if you don't someone else surely will."
Organisations need to innovate and change in order to survive. So why are so many people afraid of it? How do you help people open themselves up to change?
Joel Barker's best selling training programme, "The New Business of Paradigms", explains how the rules we live by can limit our ability to innovate and be creative. In example after example, Joel demonstrates how thinking differently is necessary for us to grow as organisations and as individuals.
The New Business of Paradigms is sold as two programmes in one! The Classic Edition is a remake of the best-selling original. The 21st Century Edition has all new stories and examples to illustrate recent paradigm shifts.

Who Moved My Cheese? (New Version) |
|
This programme is based on Dr Spencer Johnson's bestselling book - "Who Moved My Cheese".
"Who Moved My Cheese?" is a simple parable that reveals some profound truths about risk and change. In the story four characters that live in a maze are faced with unexpected change. Their 'cheese' (cheese being a metaphor for what humans want to have in life) has been moved. And it has left them somewhat frightened and confused. Eventually one of the characters deals with the situation successfully and writes what he has learned from his experience on the maze walls, providing some unique insights.
Corporations and organisations worldwide have discovered that using the Cheese concepts and language can help them to manage change within their organisation in a non-threatening and engaging way.
Participants learn that the key to success in dealing with change is to overcome one's fear of change and to get into the maze to find something better.
The programme includes:
- 3-D animated movie in VHS or DVD
- Presenter's Handbook
- Customisable Participant Handouts on CD
- Sample Reminder Items - Mouse pad, Poster, Cheese squeeze wedge, Post-It note pad, and Maze pen.
Let this powerful learning tool assist your organisation in the job of letting go of the past and discovering new opportunities.
Duration: 16 minutes
Purchase: $1400+GST
