Technology and Environmental Issues, Social and Governance (ESG /ESGthey have become some of the fundamental pillars for practically any entrepreneur or businessperson who wants to grow. The era of sustainability has already passed. Unfortunately, our planet and our existence already need a new proposal. Now, it is not enough for businesses to be sustainable. They need to have an active role in the regeneration of our ecosystem
That is why there is a need for us to move towards a new era of Regenerative Business, that actively work with restorative models, from the perspective of people and the business itself. These models go beyond the zero result in impactnet zeroor carbon neutrality in your supply chain. They are able to create formats that prioritize the restoration of the ecosystems in which they are included
В цій моделі, the business processes created by the company are designed, literally, to be regenerative for the environment in which they generate impacts. This means not only using renewable inputs, but to go beyond and create ways for the very extractive logic of these inputs to allow the ecosystem to flourish even more through the presence of that company in the extraction environment
Nature is, for itself, totally efficient and self-regenerative. Think that corporate regenerative systems are us, humans, acting and doing things like nature itselfregenerative living systems).
There are four environments for regeneration to occur systemically: in business, in the economy, in people and in organizational culture. From the perspective of the first two, we need to understand that transformations occur within the scope of the business model. And of the last two, that she awakens at the level of self-awareness
Be it on one side or the other, if the company does not integrate and incorporate the ability to generate and capture value, the impact does not become systemic. That is to say, without developing new skills and competencies, no business can say it is undergoing a transformation
Although very relevant today, technologies alone are not the answer. It is not enough to train the leadership level in Artificial Intelligence if the next day there is no impact on the business model or the operation of your company. However, the mastery of technological skills is precisely the differentiator that ensures agility in transformation journeys
Regeneration goes beyond resilience and sustainability. It is a strategy that drives the company and requires it to become a protagonist in its impact chain. Regenerative business models require a holistic approach, where business processes are intentionally planned to be beneficial to the ecosystem
Technology as a driver of business transformation
Despite the various concerns about the exponential use of AI solutions considerably increasing electricity consumption worldwide, technology itself is also a path to solution
In the early versions of the blockchain, we experienced an intensive need for electricity usage, inclusive to cool the data processing structures. But, for example, more streamlined formats of solution architecture and new technologies have allowed for a reduction of over 90% in this consumption in the most recent generations of Ethereum applications
And when we look at AI, we are starting to get a glimpse of this potentially promising scenario theArk Investpoints out that AI tools can increase the productivity of collaborative people by almost 140% in the next eight years. У фінансових термінах, this amounts to an increase of, approximately, US$ 50 thousand per worker, resulting in US$ 56 trillion worldwide. This availability of time and resources could change the level of businesses that are ready for this transition
However, only people and companies that are in a greater state of readiness for the agile changes we will experience in the coming years will be able to benefit from this new moment, whether they are climatic, of behavior and technological. In this context, the learning of tech skills is becoming increasingly relevant not only for the IT departments of companies.
There is a high correlation between individuals who value continuous learning and the development of high-performance environments in companies. People with a growth mindset, those who constantly seek improvement and learning, bring a positive dynamic to the workplace. These individuals not only enhance their own skills, but also inspire their colleagues to do the same, creating a virtuous cycle of development and innovation.
In turn, companies that encourage learning and intellectual curiosity tend to have more robust and resilient organizational cultures. When employees feel that they have the freedom and support to explore new ideas and acquire new knowledge, they feel more engaged and motivated. This not only increases job satisfaction, but also contributes to greater productivity and efficiency.
It is already time for us to stop passing on to future generations the problems we inherited. The challenges of the future have never been so noticeable in our daily lives. And the next generation of leaders needs to understand that the biggest limiter of a more promising future is our own inability to think differently and act. Themindsetthe leadership is our greatest threat to the future
