Paradigm Paralysis

Creativity Challenge 1999 #11

Joel Arthur Barker got many peoples' attention over the past 10 to 15 years with his books and videos about "Paradigms" and how they can rule and benefit our lives. One of his key points was that many problems arise from the disease he labeled "Paradigm Paralysis".

Many people in training, speaking and business today often cringe just hearing the word Paradigm because it became a buzzword through excessive use. Hmmm perhaps there is a paradigm we need to "break or eliminate" that causes us to "buzzword" words, thoughts, concepts, theories. By causing something to become a buzzword we stop benefiting from the word, thought, concept, theory....we "jade" ourselves against the learning, growth, benefit.

This week's Challenge involves 5 steps or actions. My suggestion is that you do each one separately each day. Another suggestion is that you perhaps do 2 or more steps each day for a shorter time each.

Monday
List as many paradigms you can in 12 to 15 minutes. See if you can produce the longest list of paradigms on your internet list.
Tuesday
List as many other terms we could use in place of paradigms: mindsets, ways of life, habits,....etc. See if you can produce the longest list of other terms to use in place of paradigms.
Wednesday
Find examples of as many paradigms you can during the day that have been broken, changed, eliminate, avoided during the past 5 to 10 years.
Thursday
Make up a list of new paradigms for the 21st Century and 3rd Millennium.
Friday
Choose 6 to 12 of your favorite paradigms and list as many ways for breaking, changing, eliminating, avoiding you can that could benefit you.

Please share some of your results and reactions to this CC with you list or me directly.

Remember being CREATIVE is ALWAYS YOUR CHOICE.
