The Challenge of Organizational Renewal

Change is inevitable in today’s business world. New technologies, shifting markets, and evolving customer demands constantly require organizations to adapt. However, many organizations struggle with renewal. They become stuck in outdated processes and cultures, leading to disengaged employees, decreased productivity, and ultimately, a decline in performance.

RENEWALism: A Solution for Organizational Renewal

Sandeep proposes RENEWALism as a solution to this challenge. RENEWALism is a movement that helps organizations build resilience and adaptability through a focus on PPP:

• People: RENEWALism emphasizes the importance of investing in people’s well-being and development. By helping employees cultivate resilience and emotional intelligence (EI), RENEWALism helps them cope with change and perform at their best.
• Process: Many organizations get bogged down by inefficient or outdated processes. RENEWALism encourages a critical review of processes to ensure they are streamlined and customer-centric.
• Purpose: A clear and compelling purpose provides direction and motivation for employees. RENEWALism helps organizations define their purpose in a way that resonates and aligns with each person’s KPI and inspires them to contribute their best.

How RENEWALism Works in Practice

Sandeep outlines three levels of renewal that can be implemented in organizations:

• Self-Renewal: This level focuses on helping individuals develop renewal habits that improve their well-being, resilience, and performance.
• Symbiotic Renewal: This level focuses on improving teamwork and collaboration by aligning individual and team purpose with the broader purpose of the organization.
• Systemic Renewal: This level focuses on identifying and streamlining outdated processes to improve efficiency and effectiveness.

The Benefits of RENEWALism

Sandeep highlights several benefits that organizations can experience by implementing Renewalism:

• Increased Productivity: By improving employee well-being and engagement, RENEWALism can lead to a significant increase in productivity.
• Reduced Absenteeism: RENEWALism’s focus on stress reduction can lead to improved overall health and measurably lower absenteeism.
• Improved Customer Satisfaction: By aligning processes with customer needs and aligning employees with the organization’s purpose, RENEWALism can lead to a better customer experience.

Getting Started with RENEWALism

Sandeep suggests two simple questions that leaders can ask a random sample of their people to assess the need for a RENEWALism initiative:

1. Why do you work here?
2. Which process holds you back?

The answers to these questions can reveal areas where employees are misaligned with the organization’s purpose or where processes are hindering performance.
