Spiritual Quotient Assessment (SQA) – A Rebirth Organizational Change & Development Value Proposition

Abstract

The world of work is distinct from what it was two decades before, or here. There is a need for visible, integral ecological change in divergent environments globally that is sensitive to existing realities, such as COVID-19 and the effects of digital transformation (DX) within the paradigm of 4IR. In the field of employment, the synthesis of these variables poses a paradigm shift that compels individuals and organisations to assess their state of “fitness” and “proper” to be relevant in a fast-paced global village. In different contexts, starting with self, team, organisation and culture, the scantiness of 'rebirth' transition is noticed and is partially affected by the lack of identity in the sense of what has been known as 'new standard.' This has culminated in significant losses in world economies reflecting organisations' ill preparedness to effectively handle dynamic change. This state of ill preparedness calls for a ‘rebirth.’ Rebirth as a solution for organizational change and developed is an innovative and intuitive framework that precipitates agile organizations to unlock shareholder contribution in the advent of compelling and direful situations. Its adaptive nature of nimble-wittedness provides leaders and managers with real-time, credible and effective response for optimum sustainability. To achieve this, one of the innovations of the Rebirth Model is its flagship SQA tool for diagnostics. The SQA focusses on the foundational and fundamental quotients known as the Spiritual Quotient (SQ) and the Body/Health Quotients (BQ+HQ). These quotients play a vital role in enhancing a change process both at individual and organizational perspective. This proposition provides an outline of processes organizations could follow for successful implementation of Organizational Change and Development (OCD).
