Organisational Renewal

Before embarking on an organisational renewal programme, a fair question would be: What will our charity look like after renewal? Here are a range of outcomes based on live results (in the corporate sector):

1. A high-impact organisation, improved financial results, and a sustainable operating model

2. Client benefit at the heart of all processes/activity (outside in thinking)

3. Organisational model consistent with purpose and values (humanitarian ethos)

4. An engaged, motivated workforce (fulfilling work/roles)

5. Strategy that is easy to understand and implement

6. Less bureaucracy and less time lost in pointless activities - saving costs and removing waste

7. Clarity on culture, leadership and management style (all defined and shared)

8. Increased speed of innovation

9. Dispersed leadership, power and decision making; more equality, autonomy, and transparency

10. Fewer silos and more cohesion – one team ethos and practice.

Current management practice originated in a world that no longer exists. The command and control hierarchical pyramid has been stretched to its limits - and the by-product is bureaucracy that makes businesses slow and risk averse. And disengages people.

To say that highly innovative management and leadership practice has emerged in the last decade is an understatement. Progressive organisations, in different sectors and countries, are implementing radically new ways of structuring and running a business. These ways of working seem unthinkable when viewed through a traditional lens.

Organisational renewal is a new, strengths-based approach to building sustainable, people-friendly, high-performance organisations - creating an environment where you engage all of the genius that resides in your people.

Renewal is practical, evidence based, with an enlightened view of people and the workplace – it is a relational approach to achieve breakthroughs.

To have the most impact, organisational renewal programmes incorporate individual (1:1) renewal work with members of the leadership team (and beyond).

Aum-Consult guides clients through an experiential programme, where you own the process, and we co-create the exploration. Renewal is a creative partnership based on trust, transparency, truth, and courage. It is distinct from and replaces the need for traditional ‘change’ programmes and linear planning.

Aum-Consult has a creative role in highlighting possibilities, speaking the truth, holding a mirror to the organisation, and illuminating blindspots. And not playing it safe – saying what needs to be said, with love and compassion.

These new ways of working raise a stark question: what specifically does your organisation need to do to be fit for the future? Renewal programmes guide organisations to find compelling responses.
