In today's world of competitive pressures, changing customer expectations and new technologies, organizations must continually innovate and find new ways of doing business. Change must occur quickly, flexibly and across boundaries.
Successful organizations engage and educate employees around their vision, goals, strategies and new initiatives. They communicate clearly, they heighten understanding and motivation, and they generate commitment to action. When there is true strategic alignment, employees clearly understand what is happening and why. They understand how changes affect their departments and their own jobs. And, most important, employees know what is expected so that they can embrace new ways of getting work done.
That takes more than memos and speeches. It takes approaches to communication and education that engage employees, promote collaboration and drive higher levels of initiative.
Paradigm Learning helps clients communicate and execute on change initiatives with discovery learning experiences that educate, enlighten and energize employees throughout the organization.

Impact5®: The Business of Leadership Game
Open or Close
Transforming your managers into accountable change leaders
Impact5 is a business simulation designed to develop the strong sense of accountability that leaders need to drive results. Unlike traditional development that addresses leadership from a "what you need to do, what skills you need to have" perspective, Impact5 answers "what your organization needs from you" and "how well you're fulfilling your responsibilities."
Using a challenging slice-of-reality business simulation, Impact5 helps managers and leaders link their competencies to results in three areas: customer, organizational and financial. Learners explore complex issues, make decisions and analyze results, and develop perspectives about their leadership role in five key accountability areas.
The self-assessment helps pinpoint the learner's current focus of time and effort, as well strengths and opportunities for improvement. Participants return to the job focused on the behaviors and actions that will have the highest impact on their own — and their company's — success.
