SEPTEMBER 2023: EXCITING ANNOUCEMENT:
THE PRAXIS OF MANAGEMENT – THE LAUNCHPAD FOR NEW MANAGERS
We have spent the last year or so developing a management onboarding program that we believe will be a game-changer, not only for the managers who participate in it, but for the organisation itself. Since the establishment of Frameworks in 2003, we have dedicated ourselves to designing programs that make a difference. Of all that we have offered in that time, we believe this will be our most impactful program ever.
We are really excited to see this unfold. So, if you are interested, keep an eye out for further info on Frameworks’ ground-breaking program The Praxis of Management (we will have an info video available soon) or get in touch with us for a chat.
A Different Christmas MEssage
17 December 2020
What a year it has been. In our home the disruption of Covid has been combined with the craziness of a major renovation. Recently my 12 year old cat started spraying indoors, a sign of intense stress the vet said. He explained to me how constant stress depletes serotonin and how after a while it becomes difficult to replenish this, leading to anxiety and reactiveness over things that would not normally worry us. ‘Russell’ I said, ‘are you talking about me or the cat? ’ because it all sounded strangely familiar. He laughed. ‘You are not alone in that’ he said.
Adaptive Leadership for Disruptive Times
7 JULY 2020
As we move into the easing of COVID-19 restrictions, there are challenging times ahead. That's why we're partnering with the Tasmanian Training Consortium to present Adaptive leadership for disruptive times, a course for middle and senior leaders to expand their perspectives and skills in leading change in disruptive times.
Frameworks for Change Director Helen Rees will be facilitating the course, drawing on her study with the Harvard Kennedy School.

modelling leadership excellence

Join Frameworks for Change for an Insight-style panel of Tasmanian leaders as they speak on leadership excellence now and into the future.
The aim of this conversation is to harvest and share the pearls of wisdom that have emerged from leading through this crisis, and discuss what leadership excellence looks like - now and into the future.
necessary conversations for leaders and managers
20 may 2020
There’s no roadmap on how to best lead and work together through a pandemic - leaders and managers need to pave the way and respond to what is needed.
To contribute to this, senior consultant Claudia Butler has designed a framework that summarises and encourages the critical conversation that managers need to initiate right now. You can view them here:
navigating conflict with claudia butler
SEPTEMBER 2019
It might surprise you, but Claudia says we should be aiming to navigate, not eradicate workplace conflict. “You want people to disagree, not to be of the same opinion. You want people to challenge each other and not just say yes to everything. The evidence shows us that that is ultimately creating much healthier and better outcomes. But how to do that well?’
building cultural alignment
AUGUST 2019
On Tuesday 20 August, Helen Rees presented on behalf of the Change Management Institute on Building Cultural Alignment.
She says, “Cultural alignment is the hardest but most powerful thing for organisations to develop. Culture resides in teams. Organisational alignment is based on building a network of communication and consistency across those teams.” Our challenge now is how best to go about this.
LEADERSHIP: IT'S NOT WHAT YOU THINK...
Having recently returned from study at the Harvard Kennedy School, Helen shares her thoughts from her inspired time whilst attending the Art and Practice of Leadership Development (APL) programme led by Professor Heifetz.
BREAKING DOWN BARRIERS - KNOW YOUR STYLE
26 SEPTEMBER 2019
In this thought-provoking interactive workshop, leadership consultant Nicki Hayward unpacked our natural behavioural styles and the intentions behind our behaviours in the workplace. We learned better ways of dealing with the people we don’t naturally get along with, built tools to identify personality styles, and gained a better understanding of how to interact with each other to achieve a better result.
If you want to problem solve... put those phones away!

There is now a plethora of research showing the cost of being part of this permanently connected world.
Why workplaces don't work… and what to do about it.
February 2018
Sometimes it seems that if you wanted to design a workplace where people can't do their best work, you would design the 9-5 office model.
On Completion and Renewal
DECEMBER 2017
As we come to the chaotic end of the year, when everything has to be done, it becomes too easy to lose sight of the big picture. When we are caught up in the minutiae everything becomes urgent. We lose sight of what we have achieved and think only of what is still to be done.
CONGRATULATIONS CLAUDIA
DECEMBER 2017
Frameworks’ senior consultant, Claudia Butler, is now a certified Map of Meaning practitioner. She is only one of 19 practitioners worldwide, and one of six in Australia.
The Map of Meaning is a powerful research based framework that can be used by individuals, teams and organisations to create successful workplaces. It brings onto one simple diagram all the dimensions of intrinsic motivation. It gives a lens through which we get a sense of understanding and control. The Map helps us to stay inspired, whilst dealing with whatever reality we are facing. It reminds us of what matters most, releases our own wisdom and leads to practical steps.
Claudia is specialised to use the Map in the context of planning the future, managing diversity and resolving conflict.
Contact us to find out how the Map of Meaning can contribute to your workplace culture.
More than enough managers, but where is the management?
October 2017
For many years now, we have been seeing this push to leadership. It's been the new black for quite some time and we see a massive amount of resources thrown into leadership programs. But, I wonder... are leadership programs delivering the results we want, or are we missing the point?
What is conflict doing to your workplace?
OCTOBER 2017
If we allow unresolved issues to fester we develop a toxic relationship culture. This becomes a perfect breeding ground for bullying behaviours. How can we avoid being sucked into such an unhealthy dynamic?
WELCOME TO OUR NEW WEBSITE
August 2017
Frameworks has come a long way since its inception in 2003 and changed even more in the past few years since we set up an office in town. Then it was Marg and I and the Frameworks brand was largely about the consulting work one person could do. Since then we have grown and morphed into something different...
