The Diamond ParadigmTM , is an innovative development in family business consulting which celebrates the power and acknowledges the vulnerability of high net worth families. The Diamond Paradigm processes help families transform impasses into relationship-building legacies. The four C's of container, candor, collaboration, and commitment are what make progress possible.
Although diamonds are the hardest substance in the world they are not without their vulnerabilites. If not given proper care, the value of the diamond can be severely compromised. Families need careful attention and care to avoid the rags to riches to rags scenario that can destroy their hard-earned legacies.
Graphite and diamonds are made of the same substance. Graphite is one of the softest substances on earth, diamonds the hardest. Diamonds occur because of their stronger molecular structure and the heat and pressure of their environment. For families to truly realize their full human potential and trans-generational they must also engage in the heat of conflict and the pressure of engaging with differences.
The Breatkthrough Dialogue is the methodology of the Diamond Paradigm and is our exclusive four-phased facilitation process which allows families to engage in conversations about issues that block their ability to move forward. Breakthrough Dialogue allows families to unleash the creative energy to enable a new paradigm of opportunity.
