A stakeholder founded business model for strategic management of innovation hubs: A case of Zimbabwe universities innovation hubs

Abstract

This article presents a synergistic framework for Organization Development (OD) practitioners, drawing insights from the Regenerate 2025 International OD Conference. The framework centers on Strategic Foresight, Regeneration, and Transformation as interconnected pillars for organizational evolution. It emphasizes the critical interplay of foundational elements knowledge, skills, and use of self - with key regenerative practices. Crucially, Nature-inspired Wisdom, Group Coaching, Storytelling, Appreciative Inquiry, embracing Artificial Intelligence, and Indigenous Paradigms, with Ubuntu as a cornerstone, are highlighted as profound influences that inform OD work and manifest regenerative potential in social systems. This framework equips practitioners to foster adaptive capacity, relational capital, and generative learning, guiding organizations toward flourishing, purpose-aligned, and resilient futures. It directly amplifies both the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and the Inner Development Goals (IDGs), demonstrating how inner transformation catalyzes outer growth, directly impacting the day-to-day lives of people and the health of the planet.
