JOEL BARKER
Corporate Paradigm Shifts
Joel Barker was the first person to popularize the concept of paradigm shifts for the corporate world. He began his work in 1975 after spending a year on fellowship meeting and working with visionary thinkers in both North America and Europe.
Joel Barker discovered that the concept of paradigms, which at that time was sequestered within the scientific discussion, could explain revolutionary change in all areas of human endeavor. By 1985, Joel Barker had built the case and corporations and nations were seeking his advice.
In 1980, in addition to his work on paradigms, Joel Barker began to focus on a second crucial component for organizations and individuals: the importance of vision.
In 1986, he released his first videotape, Discovering the Future: The Business of Paradigms. By 1988, it was the best selling business video in history. In 2001, Joel Barker updated this film to include contempory examples and a shortened version. It has been translated into 16 languages and continues to influence people all over the world.
In 1990, Joel Barker released his second video, The Power of Vision. This became his second best seller and has also been translated into more than a dozen languages.
His book on paradigms, Future Edge, published in 1992, was listed as one of the most influential business books of that year by the prestigious Library Journal. It has been used for more than a decade.
Joel Barker has worked with organizations, both for profit and not for profit, all over the world as well as with nations, including Singapore, Venezuela, Canada, Mexico and Peru.
His honors include an honorary Doctorate in Visionary Leadership from St. Mary's University and the Excellence in Education Award given to him by the international education association, Pi Lambda Theta for his part in supporting educational innovation.
Formerly director of the Futures Studies Department of the Science Museum of Minnesota from 1974 to 1978, Joel Barker has spoken to more than 1 million people around the world and his films have been seen by more than 250 million people around the world.
