..WERNER ERHARD
Barbados Group |
The Barbados Group, an international group of scholars, consultants and practitioners brought together by Werner Erhard, is committed to creating a new paradigm of performance. The working name for this new paradigm is “The Ontological Foundations of Performance.” This new paradigm is based on the fundamental proposition that the performance of an individual, group or organization is a correlate of the way the world in which, and on which, that entity is performing "occurs" for that entity. This new paradigm also offers access to this "occurring" through a specific use of a distinct aspect of language. The foundations of the new paradigm utilize the perspectives provided by the disciplines of neuroscience, complex adaptive systems science, rhetoric, and philosophy. The new paradigm reveals the importance of the correlative, linguistic, and ontological elements of action.

The Barbados Group has a commitment to communicate and further the ideas of this new paradigm in the world. The first publication in book form to come out of the Barbados Group’s exploration and the tenets of “The Ontological Foundations of Performance” is Three Laws of Performance, the 2009 best selling book by Steve Zaffron and Dave Logan. Michael C. Jensen writes in the foreword to Three Laws of Performance, "I must recognize members of the Barbados Group; in particular Werner Erhard, for being the catalyst that brought these extraordinary thinkers together and for his superb leadership of the group's discussions. I am deeply grateful for the contribution these conversations have made to me personally and to this book." Michael C. Jensen, page xviii (foreword)
