- From a centralized to a decentralized way of doing things;
- From if-only thinking to an emergent approach to getting things done;
- From the strait-jacket of strategic planning to the freedom of strategic thinking.
This is good for people. That means it's more likely to be good for the planet. And, whatever your bottom line is, it'll be good for that, too. Learning to use the principles, practices, and processes of a Renewable OrganizationTM leads to a way of living and working that is:
Purposeful
What you do is in alignment with your "reason for being."
Resilient
Because you're working together, bringing the very best of what you have to offer, you are able to withstand the challenges and changes that inevitably come to your organization and in life.
Adaptable
Because you have learned to embrace process (rather than plans), are tapping into the creativity and passion of people in your organization, and engaging your context in a collaborative way, you are flexible and confident as you move into the emerging future.
Fruitful
You not only get things done - you do what matters!
How does it all work?
The principles of a Renewable OrganizationTM are simple (but not easy!):
Be who you are;
See what you have;
Do what matters.
The ARE team uses the principles, practices, and processes of the Renewable OrganizationTM in our work. We can also teach them to you and your leaders as you retool to meet the challenges and changes of the emerging future.
Find out how they can make a difference wherever you live, work, worship, play, or serve.
