What Makes Paragon Different

Paragon Designs
Change That Sustains

Unlike traditional consulting firms that treat people and culture as project management side streams, Paragon begins where real transformation happens—at the intersection of science, behaviour, and business strategy.

 

Paragon's proprietary approach blends:

  • Cognitive Neuroscience – how we think and recall what’s worked in the past, and how all of it connects in the brain and can be rewired through neuroplasticity.

  • Behavioural Psychology – how we respond to fear, motivation, and inspiration

  • Business Strategy – proven approaches and frameworks that produce repeatable and measurable results.

Paragon's not a traditional consultancy. Paragon is a Behavioural & Business Architecture Firm.

Paragon's the world’s only, globally-recognized, award-winning Behavioural & Business Architecture design company (BBA). Paragon specializes in creating strategies that rewire how people think, act, and lead — so that real change not only happens, actually sustains.

​​

​

More About Paragon

If you peruse any of the traditional management consulting firms, they look at people and culture rudimentary: as an extension or a stream of managing a project. This largely comes from their deep expertise in auditing, taxation management, and even brokering M&A deals (for which they are quite exceptional!) yet they often promote and manage impacts to people the same as technology, through basic communication activities, thinly veiled as change management, and completely overlook the levers that drive human behaviour.

 

However, how Paragon enables their clients to affect and effect change comes from a deep understanding of how the mind works, how our actions are governed by our thoughts, and how Paragon can enable people to rewire themselves to achieve whatever they want.

 

In short, Paragon specializes in creating business strategies that rewire how people think, act, and lead — so that real change not only happens, actually sustains. Here's an overview of what makes Paragon's model distinct:

​

  • Paragon maps behaviours, not just workflows.

  • Paragon architects change by rewiring identities, not just processes.

  • Paragon aligns your technology, operations, and people by understanding the behavioural, cognitive, and cultural wiring that either enables or hinders success.

​

​

​

Paragon helps you reimagine how you think about influencing change, managing a business or achieving any goal. 

​​

​

A simple way to understand what makes Paragon unique: from people struggling with their weight, seeking to lose 50+ lbs and keep it off, to career-minded Professionals who want to rise to the C-Suite, to Project Managers delivering massive changes to an organization, to CEOs acquiring companies and want to integrate diverse corporate cultures, to Entrepreneurs learning how to evolve into Executives to scale their business to new heights, Paragon's framework ensures they can change and that the changes are sustained. Paragon ensures that our clients can traverse from their Vision to seeing the results of their Victory.

 

Here we share some of the pains Paragon's alleviated for their clients:

​

For IT, HR and Project Leaders:

How many times have you initiated great projects that would greatly benefit the business, your customers and employees only to get sidelined by teams that you're serving? Even in the last few years, there's dozens of companies who made the news for filing for Chapter 11 protection because they couldn't effect change in their organizations, and the market wasn't waiting.

 

In contrast, imagine you could have all impacted leaders understand the fear-pain loops and decision fatigue that happens when you're looking to implement at new change. Imagine how much faster you could replace outdated technologies, the pace you could change direction to meet customer needs or sentiment in the market. Imagine how much more productive, happy and engaged your employees would be.

 

Welcome to Paragon's client's reality.

Paragon has stewarded hundreds of projects and programs that impacted internal stakeholders from groups as small as 25 to as large at 175k, and worked with local governments and municipalities to support positive impacts in community for over 3.2M constituents.

​​

​​

​

For CEOs, Investment Firms, and Senior Executives Acquiring New Businesses:

How many times have you read about a new merger or acquisition fail to deliver ROI to the shareholders because there were challenges integrating disparate companies? In less than 5-minutes, most business leaders can name a number of mergers or acquisitions that failed during the crucial Post-Merger Integration stage. How about the exuberant costs associated with attrition of top talent, the low customer retention, the disparate systems, processes and data uncategorized or organized?

 

Now, imagine that you have designed a corporate culture that truly reflects the essence of your brand, the customer's expectations, and the way your teams do their work seamlessly? Imagine how it would feel to walk in on Monday morning, with your end of week reports already sent and your quarterly earnings look good, your teams have self-identified an issue and are proactively resolving it before customers notice, your newly integrated department leads are cross-collaborating on ways to enact the next phase of your vision, and have laid the plain that an deliver ahead of schedule and optimize processes to save you costs on licensing.

 

Delivering Post-Merger Integrations Successfully

From supporting Executives to purchase their first company, to helping seasoned M&A Leaders integrate several acquired brands, to PE Firms heavily invested in the transition going well, Paragon has enabled companies to integrate their cultures, processes, data and technologies. After Paragon's done, your teams will create momentum before a mandate, so they internalize the shift — before it’s enforced externally.

​

​

Paragon's Clients Make the Decision to Reach Out When They Need a New Approach That Works

Leadership teams realize that their challenges aren't systems issue — it was a people and performance issue. Most times their technology was built without consideration to the nuances of the business and needed enhancing, project and operations teams burn out, frustrated at the overtime they endured with no end in sight, and the employees lacked the belief that the system would ever be able to do what was needed to sustain daily operations.

​

When they asked how Paragon would approach it, the answer was simple:

Paragon does things differently.

Paragon doesn’t just implement systems.

Paragon enables the behaviours that drive adoption.

 

Paragon knows the behaviours, beliefs, and buy-in required to get projects like this reinitiated and over the finish line. Paragon knew that its clients didn't need more status updates or communications  — nor did they need endless PowerPoint presentation slides of theoretical strategies that treat the need for behavioural changes, they wanted Paragon to quickly assess what was happening and define a plan to get back on track; they needed behavioural traction, cultural alignment, and performance ownership across the project and every business team.

​​

​

From Helping Individuals become their best self to enabling institutions to engage with a community of constituents - Paragon's clients consistently nominate and recommend Paragon for awards for being the best. 

​​

​

Client Success – Economic Development

Invest in Ontario – Economic Development and Investment Attraction Campaign

  • Challenge: The Province of Ontario’s international investment agency needed a compelling, globally resonant campaign to increase visibility and attract foreign direct investment, particularly in high-growth sectors. The campaign required sophisticated coordination between strategic brand development, economic messaging, and constituent-informed insights.

  • Solution: Facilitated the campaign on behalf of a global agency, to develop a behaviour-informed brand and messaging strategy, aligned with economic and policy goals. Crafted an integrated brand narrative that translated policy language into investor-relevant messaging, with digital and physical collateral tailored to international business audiences.

  • Results: Enabled international campaign success by presenting Ontario as a globally competitive destination, which enabled over 100M in new investments. The initiative supported the province’s sustained economic growth over the next decade and became a model for multi-jurisdictional branding and investment attraction efforts.

​

Municipal Food Bank Annual Drive – Behavioural Community Engagement & Digital Activation

  • Challenge: A Local Food Bank aimed to increase public participation and donations during their annual food drive, while enhancing brand equity for both organizations. They needed a refreshed community engagement approach to spark new donor behaviour and increase visibility across digital platforms.

  • Solution: In support of a prime sponsor, developed the full campaign content, online creatives, and integrated community engagement plan grounded in behavioural psychology. Designed and deployed a digital brand strategy that included targeted messaging, emotional motivators, and community-based storytelling.

  • Results: Generated a 50% year-over-year increase in online donations. The campaign successfully elevated public engagement, fostered brand connection with local residents, and demonstrated the power of behaviour-first communications in a high-trust sector.

 

Economic Development Initiative –  Botanical Gardens, Zoo and Research Institute

  • Challenge: A Local zoo required a coordinated operational and engagement plan to prepare for the arrival of one of the most high-profile public exhibitions in its history. The initiative needed to align on-site operations, community engagement, and digital branding while ensuring a seamless guest experience.

  • Solution: Contracted to develop a new operational roadmap for the exhibit and its timed-ticketing system. Redesigned the Zoo’s website and digital platforms to reflect the updated brand strategy, improve user flow, and enable targeted outreach to regional and international visitors. Integrated social media touchpoints and multilingual content to appeal to diverse audiences.

  • Results: The Zoo achieved its highest-ever summer attendance at 3.2 million visitors, while increasing guest satisfaction ratings from 84% to 93%. The exhibit also strengthened the Zoo’s reputation as an innovative, family-friendly attraction with global appeal.

 

​

​

Client Success – Large Scale behavioural Change Management

​

Municipal Transit Authority

  • Challenge: A large-scale upgrade to the 311-service required integrated change management across IT infrastructure, ERP/CRM extensions, internal city departments, and external constituent interactions, all within a multilingual (EN/FR/SP) environment.

  • Solution: Designed and executed a comprehensive change enablement strategy, including stakeholder engagement, training, and communications plans tailored to both the municipal workforce and the public. Managed behavioural readiness, process alignment, and digital adoption across a broad spectrum of roles.

  • Results: Enabled a seamless transition impacting over 2.57M constituents. Internal teams successfully adopted the new platform with minimal disruption in under 18 months, and the public experienced a 37% improvement of service delivery and issue resolution rates.

​

Multi-National Advanced Composites Organization
