To thus transform, it is necessary to understand that behind the utilisation of human energy and potential in organisational processes, there are four factors, viz. structural authority, individuals, external and internal realities.

Visualising these as four overlapping circles, Raghu identifies the petals or portions in the formation as ‘envelopes’.

For instance, the area that is formed by the convergence of all four circles is named ‘flow,’ because it is characterised by ‘a great flow of organisational energy.’ There is synergy, growth, identification, belonging and creativity at both the individual and organisational levels in this envelope, explains the author.

He names areas with three circles overlapping as envelopes of ‘awareness’, because these are in the process of coherence, action and alignment.

“This is a potential area for energy and growth. There is awareness of critical problems and their possible solutions; however, the knowledge, know-how, and resources are fragmented.”

This is where enthusiasm to solve problems may exist but it is not adequately channelled into workable solutions, Raghu elaborates.
