The 5 Elements of the 95 Method
Why elements? For two reasons – importance and the ability to combine. There are 118 elements in the periodic table. However, only four elements (iron, oxygen, silicon and magnesium) make up about 90% of the earth. Similarly, we have found 5 elements combine for 95% of organizational performance.
Secondly, elements have the ability to combine. When elements mix they make new compounds. The 5 elements of the 95 Method combine to create a factorial improvement to performance. In simple terms, the 5 elements play well together and feed off of each other for performance greater than the sum of each individual element.
