Elemental Change

Our intensely interconnected world never stops evolving. Amid the chaos of intended and unintended consequences we’re expected to lead a change initiative. We have to learn fast, as it’s already started.

In Elemental Change, a highly practical, human and entertaining book, we’re guided in how we might make complex change attainable – organizational, professional or personal – whether we have years of experience or are facing our first major challenge. It helps us think about what change is and means, how we prepare for it and what we do to make it successful. The elemental framework is highly portable, making it relevant to any location, sector, culture or discipline.
