Thrive by design

At Elemental, we believe that the power of your adaptability

As an organisation, you operate in a rapidly changing context: customer behaviour changes, talent sets new demands, your sales market changes. But in addition, the entire economy is also evolving, towards a meaningful economy as Kees Klomp - Professor of Applied Science, Rotterdam University - formulates, where organisations flourish instead of grow, where social and planetary boundaries are guarded. For many organisations, this requires a transformation into a meaningful, purpose-driven organisation. This is not a one-off transformation; as an organisation, you need to be able to continuously renew yourself. The challenge of staying relevant.

Too often, the focus of transformations is on the means and less on what you want to achieve with it. An agile transformation without connection to strategy, innovation training without daring to invest in new directions. At Elemental, we believe that the power of your adaptability is the key to expressing your purpose and staying relevant. A new strategy or purpose only makes sense if you show as an organisation that you can adapt.

Our 'Thrive by Design' framework Enables your organisation to express your purpose. By designing transformation. By doing this, you are able to shape any innovation, engage with it and, in the process, increase your organisation's self-learning capacity.

To be successful in delivering on your purpose or strategy, it is important to work on all these 9 elements. We start small, design an element, test it in practice, learn from it and then look at how to scale up. That is the power of Thrive by Design.

The 9 elements of  Thrive by Design

your timeless promise and responsibility to the world, to motivate and connect employees

your ambition and overarching strategic priorities to transform, to realise your purpose and transition

the behaviours and values central from the purpose, the role of leadership in creating an inclusive & diverse culture

proper decision-making supports the realisation of the strategy and also incorporates social and ecological value in decisions

redesigning your organisation to create space to best support and deliver your strategy

solutions that help manifest your purpose and achieve goals, e.g. labs, programmes, partnerships, trainings

special skills (such as Design Thinking, Scrum, impact measurement, biomimicry) are needed to execute the strategy

tools can accelerate and support solutions, for example impact frameworks to make choices, share information or collaborate remotely

design your (digital) spaces so that teams can get the best out of themselves, e.g. (co)location or teams, workstations for teams
