In May 2022 Jardena had the honor of being a contributor for the Emergence: The Journal of Business Agility which explores "Rethinking the Workplace".
This piece fires up the conversation of Organizational Pain and how before we reinvent, we must heal.

5 STEP PROCESS TO A WORKPLACE WITH SOUL
THIS IS A FRAMEWORK TO WORK THROUGH ALONE OR WITH A TEAM. YOU CAN APPLY THIS PROCESS TO MICRO OR MACRO SITUATIONS IN YOUR WORKPLACE.
In order to survive in today’s world, companies need to be adaptive, and responsive to their environment. They need to be more like a living system and less like a machine. The key difference is that living systems have a soul, something innate that allows them to expand into possibilities that don’t currently exist.
Machines are limited to “what is”, which is why change is so hard in organizations today. With a little soul, your change becomes dynamic and fluid. Where do we start? A simple thing you can do today is to identify a soulless process in your organization and apply the 5 Steps to Soul in the Workplace. The changes will be subtle at first, but you’ll see them grow over time.
