The Driving Renewal podcast delves into organizational renewal

What does renewal look like in different work environments? What does it mean in practice, and what does it demand from us as individuals? These are the questions explored in the Driving Renewal podcast series.

Driving Renewal is an AI translated version of the "Uudistajat" podcast series, originally in Finnish. This podcast series delves into organizational renewal through conversations with various experts. 

The podcast is originally hosted by Satu Rekonen, a university lecturer at Aalto University's Department of Industrial Engineering and Management. In these episodes, you'll hear Satu, and her podcast guests, speaking in an AI-generated voice, as we wanted to experiment with an artificial intelligence translation and a text-to-speech service.

Satu drew inspiration for the podcast from a master鈥檚 course starting next spring, where students tackle real-world organizational renewal cases.  

鈥淚鈥檝e learned how crucial the commitment and example of top management are, but also that they鈥檙e not enough on their own. Organizational renewal requires active collaboration among different stakeholders, continuous interaction, and clear reasoning for why change is necessary. Renewal is largely about influencing people and ways of working, but it also requires selecting the right metrics and, in many cases, providing numerical justification,鈥 Satu explains.  

The Driving Renewal podcast offers personal stories, concrete examples, and valuable lessons for leaders, professionals, and anyone interested in organizational development.
