Through transformational change a 'new reality' can be created, an outcome not possible through the traditional process of incremental change.
Transformational change redefines the standards of peak performance.
Meeting them requires more than the conventional development of new skills and knowledge through training or changes to structure and processes through organization development. These standards also require the development of new individual and organizational paradigms through transformational learning. The break with an existing set of beliefs is an experience familiar to many of us. These 'paradigm shifts' often occur in response to a personal challenge, such as a divorce or parenthood, and result in a pronounced change in perspective, a new way of thinking and seeing the world. The process underlying these spontaneous shifts has recently been adapted to the corporate setting as a planned and systematic learning process.
