In the background of all human endeavours are conceptual and physical maps. The New Paradigm will be built using new paradigm maps first. It starts with this one simple map below. It is here and NOW in this present moment that you choose which paradigm you want to participate in. One based upon the past and centered on a fear based mentality? Or one looking to the future and having love as the primary value to design around?
2.5.2 Card Sets
When you move from playing with information that is static and contained within sentences and paragraphs and documents to cards and card sets, you realize there are infinite patterns that you can see and create. Cards contain knowledge and yet for the most part are relegated to being used in games or tarot and oracle decks. Not often do businesses see card decks as the best way to organize a large part of their business. Card decks are great for visual and kinesthetic learners. They have to touch and see the abstract concepts. The cards also work well with the other maps, gameboards, processes and software of the whole New Paradigm Toolkit.
2.5.3 Gameboards
Much of the breakthrough technology contained in the New Paradigm Toolkit comes in the forms of gameboards. Humans use tables to do their most important work upon. Yet how often is the table structured so it can organize the information or roles sitting at the table? Each gameboard has a unique communication function based upon the number of people who can sit at the table. There is a big difference between 5 people and 8 people sitting down at a meeting. The tables focalize what the team has to do. They create very stimulating conversations that transform the way that meetings are held. The tables are built with custom designed mental models that assist in seeing solutions in whole systems. The true aim is attaining a synergy between the participants. How best to connect the parts into a whole?
2.5.4 Processes
A process is a way of organizing parts into a whole through a laid out sequence. How best to connect the parts together? How best to create the most synergy between the parts? A business is a series of processes that carry out the mission, goals, and values of a business enterprise. By using the card sets, maps, gameboards and software together in innovative ways, facilitators can custom design processes to create whatever the client needs. All the tools work together in so many diverse ways. These tools have been brought together here to assist individuals, teams, organizations, families, and communities to learn, create, communicate and heal together.
2.5.5 Software
Software is going through a huge transformation right before our eyes. Millions of programmers are building new systems all the time and the amount of apps and programs is rising at a faster pace than anyone can hope to keep up to. How to identify what to use? How to integrate it with your other programs? How not to get lost down so many rabbit holes? How to run your business in the best way and organize your data, information, and knowledge in an intelligent way? To build a new paradigm you need an operating system to do so. The Inflow Matrix Operating System is such a system.
