Abstract
The review article aims to explore the concept of creating a regenerative organizational culture through the application of transformational practices. The study investigates the potential benefits of integrating regenerative practices within an organization's cultural framework to foster adaptability, innovation, and sustainability. By examining the literature on regenerative culture and digital transformation, this study provides an overview of the key components and strategies necessary for building a regenerative organizational culture in the digital era and proposes an innovative approach to predicting regenerative cultural practices required within stages of a project’s life cycle.
Organizational culture works as a lifeline. It is instrumental in companies shaping its values, behavior policies and contributes towards its overall identity. It is long known that cultures can become stagnant, especially within an ever-growing environment. This stagnancy can hinder growth, innovation, creativity, and commitment. The need for organizational regeneration of culture becomes essential as it invigorates and revitalizes the essence of an organization by igniting sustainable transformation and promoting net positive impact. Some of the key considerations supporting the efforts of cultural regeneration within an organization are, firstly, identifying and acknowledging the need for culture regeneration, secondly, commitment to sustainability, thirdly, stakeholder synergy, fourth, persistence of commitment throughout the iterative processes of product or service life cycle, and attitude of empowerment and last but not the least a conscious effort of celebrating milestone successes.
When organizations proactively assess their culture and recognize the signs of stagnation, they not only identify the shortcomings and gaps in their cultural environment but are also led to acknowledge the need for a regeneration. Value creation and delivery are an integral part of the regenerative process. Understanding how an internal climate affects an external season is critical in understanding the value of regeneration of organizational culture. There is much debate about the relationship between sustainability and circular business models impacting culture. Looking at the need for a regeneration for an organization can be understood by assessing the different departments for culture appropriateness and drawing an analogy of climate. It can then be extrapolated that the various climates impact the overall harmony of the organizational ecosystem. Conducting a thorough and holistic assessment of culture shift during the different stages of a project lifecycle could help forecast the iterative weather.
