Key ‘Post Modern’ Assumptions
• Our understanding of
reality is socially
constructed
• Multiple realities exist
about the same ‘thing’
• Impossible to separate
object from subject
• Know your frame!

have the right metaphor to let you
perceive it”. Thomas Kuhn

Framing and Reframing
• Frames are sets of assumptions and mental models
that act as a window on the world.
• Frames are both conscious/explicit and
unconscious/implicit.
• Frames determine what we see and how we
interpret what we see.
• We need skills in engaging multiple models and
learning how to reframe situation.

Lighting makes you see
whatever it wants you to
see . It can hide stuff that
exist.
Traps of Frames: Psychic Prisons
• Taken-for-granted frames render us blind to
new types of data.
• We tend to seek out data that is consistent
with our frames.
• When we believe in our frames we tend to
ignore, distort or deny information that is
inconsistent with what the frame suggests
should be there.

Surface Assumptions and
Ask Questions
• Through Asking Questions you can Reveal the Taken-forGranted Assumptions that Limit Thinking on any Topic
• e.g. the 5 Why’s?
• Why?
• Why?
– Why?

Two grand paradigms
• Newtonian Model
• Quantum physics model
Different approaches to environment
• Individualistic approach ( newtonian model)
– Win-lose approach
– Win-win approach
• Spiritualistic approach (Quantum physics
model)
Newtonian Model
• Newtonian models conceives universe as little billiard balls
• Ideas such individualism and replaceable parts in industrial
settings emerged from Newton’s idea of atomism
• Aloneness, isolation, objectivism and positivism all are
emerged from Newtonian perspective.
• Environment is something external to the firm
• When we act like a collection of bouncing billiard balls in a
box, we're often acting against each other. There's a lot of
conflict, competition, jealousy, grudges, and anger
• today's business culture is operating from the four negative
motivations of fear, greed, anger, and self-assertion
Quantum physics paradigm
• Universe as concretized balls that take no different
• When two quantum systems meet,they combine and
overlap their total identity.
• All the patterns of dynamic energy within these systems
change dramatically in relation to each other, leading to the
emergence of a
• " It's not separation; it's integration. It's not isolation; it's an
understanding that we're all part of one great big
interwoven system
• You don't get the same kind of conflict, grudges, and anger
because you've all become part of one system working
together
• You grow together and you create together
