A Paradigm is a broad model consisting of generally accepted assumptions and beliefs. Too often we rely on historical models to guide our thinking because they border reality and allow us to be successful within the boundaries. However, the world is constantly changing and, therefore, the models need to be updated and replaced. We need to alter our thinking to search for alternatives that lie outside the boundaries. When this happens a Paradigm Shift occurs.

Does your thinking allow you to move outside the boundaries?
