At Elemental Change, our framework simplifies transformative change to its four, core elements; float, flow, fuel and flourish. Although this journey may naturally be interpreted as sequential elements, it rarely operates in a linear nature. Change is a multi-dimensional system, constantly evolving in response to the dynamism of the people within it. Recognising this, we apply freedom within framework, where multiple elements may be tackled in parallel to match the needs of the business and its people.
Float
(Air)
The oxygen that brings life and clarity to the strategic direction.
​​
Transformation starts with the executive team being united around the direction they're going, the priorities and trade-offs to deliver it, the success measures that will prove it, the behaviours that will enable it, and being confident in a compelling narrative that supports it.
​
At Elemental Change, we facilitate constructive conversations and executive team engagements to articulate and orient senior teams around their shared strategy, and a commitment to its delivery.

Flow
(Water)
The momentum to align senior leaders towards a common goal.
With a clear direction around the executive table, the intention for change can begin to cascade throughout the organisation. As the cavalry who can dislodge inertia in the business, senior leaders need to be equipped to guide their teams.
​
At Elemental Change, we support senior leaders to translate the strategic narrative into meaningful relevance for their teams and provide clarity to their people by prioritising work to align to enterprise needs. Through leadership coaching, we help foster (self and other) awareness for leaders to respond to their people's needs, and offer a framework for the business to effectively and consistently deliver change.
Fuel
(Fire)
The tools to ignite change and prepare your people for it.
​
The real change only gains traction once the wider organisation is prepared and enabled to do things differently.
Outside of simply knowing how they're expected to do things differently, transformation activity is most successful when energy is invested in uplifting people's change capability and mindset to feel excited and prepared for the future.
At Elemental Change, we provide teams and individuals with tools to manage their own experience of change and ensure they're ready to participate in it. This energy is contagious, and acts as the fuel to ignite change within the business. ​​
Flourish
(Earth)
​The means to measure outcomes, track benefits and adjust mitigations for sustainable change.
​
It's too easy to want to immediately move to the next bright, shiny initiative without taking a pulse on how embedded the changes are in daily ways of working and behaving. Sustainable change requires attention to tracking successes and celebrating milestones.
At Elemental Change, we offer structure to tracking outcomes and coaching people through adoption until it becomes 'just the way we do things around here.' ​​Only at this point, do we see the benefits flourish into fruition and people regain the capacity to take further steps towards continuous improvement.
To account for where your business is at in its transformation journey, Elemental Change can offer support with one, some or all elements. Depending on your objectives, we support engagements through strategic change advisory, change leadership coaching, and change management delivery placements.
