Category: Changing Paradigm

  • From corporate allegiance to project allegiance

    In the last byte, we looked at the shift from top-down firms of the old career paradigm to organizational empowerment to new career paradigm. In today’s byte, we look at the shift from corporate allegiance model (old paradigm) to project allegiance model (new paradigm).

    We could interpret the change between the two in the following table. 

  • From Top Down to Organizational Empowerment

    In the last byte, we looked at the shift from one-employer focus (old paradigm) to occupational excellence (new paradigm). In today’s byte, we look at the shift from top-down firms of the old career paradigm to organizational empowerment to new career paradigm. 

    We could interpret the change between the two in the following table. 

  • From a single employer focus to Occupational Excellence

    In the last byte, we discuss the shift from Mutual Loyalty Contract (Old Paradigm) to Discrete Exchange (New Paradigm). In today’s byte, we look at the shift from one-employer focus (old paradigm) to occupational excellence (new paradigm). 

    We could interpret the change between the two in the following table:

  • From Mutual Loyalty Contract to Discrete Exchanges

    In the last byte, we looked at the broad categories in which the change from old career paradigm to the new one has occured. We discuss this a bit more closely today on the shift from Mutual Loyalty Contract (Old Paradigm) to Discrete Exchange (New Paradigm). 

    We could interpret the change between the two in the following table. 

  • Changing Paradigm of Careers

    In the last byte, we looked at the definition of career and career management and understood why it would be important for a manager to understand career management. In today’ byte we look at the chaging paradigm of career. 

    The concept of life-time employement in a single organization is almost a reality today – and the challenge is to create a constantly learning organisation. We use the reference book table 17.1 to understand the old and new paradims of career in this byte and the next few.

    We do this on 4 broad heads in which we can look at these transitions:
    • The mutual loyalty contract has given way to Discrete exchange
    • The one-employer focus has given way to occupational excellence
    • The top-down firm structure is now one of organizational empowerment
    • Corporate allegiance has given way to project allegiance
    We shall look at these closely in the next byte.
