MORE EFFECTIVE THEORY
Our Change Management Theory
Changing minds starts with four distinct belief systems. These four belief systems work together as a team, not as a sequence of believing one thing after another or believing that if you follow one then you get the whole package. Believe in any one and you get one dimension results. Believe in all four and you get exponential results. These belief systems are all embedded and infused in transformations. Start believing in them today!
Four Belief Systems
1. Toppa:
Breaking through and Breakthrough's are possible and will happen.
2. Kaizen:
Continuous incremental steps while thinking long term commitment.
3. Poke-yoke:
Doing everything right the first time, every time.
4. Houshou:
Engage and you will be rewarded.
