+ The Wilderness of a Paradigm Shift Central Texas Conference 2012

+ The wilderness of deep change When an organization or institution has lost its connection with its own environment there is only one choice: deep change… or slow death. Deep Change, Robert Quinn

+ The church, clergy, members can no longer be the object of our affection! The Mission of the United Methodist Church is to make disciples of Jesus Christ for the transformation of the world.

+ A Simple Systems Model Edwards Deming: Simple Systems Theory InputThroughputOutput (Outcome) Nouns VerbsThe difference to be measured Resources Activities

+ Non-Profit Dilemmas Non-profits routinely do not know what they produce. Systems that can’t measure their outcomes commonly measure their input In non-profit systems inputs are commonly mistaken for outcomes

+ The Shifting UM Paradigm The Old United Methodist Paradigm Outcome: more members; satisfied clergy; satisfied congregations The New United Methodist Paradigm Outcome: disciples (changed peoplewho will change the world) Input: members, Clergy and congregations

+ The Three stages of Managing Change 1. Letting Go: 2. The Confusion of the In- between Time: 3. Starting New: Managing Change, William Bridges
