The threshold of Awakened Organizations

The threshold of Awakened Organizations

I am noticing a shift in what I will call the Awakened Factor of organizations. By Awakened Factor I mean the extent to which an organization is willing to create practices and policy that consider the well-being and sustainability of the people who work there, the client base it serves, as well the planet itself. Of course what remains a reasonable and important question for organizations is how do they make a profit from this emerging way of being. After all no profit; no sustainability of the organization itself.
To a large extent this shift is consumer driven. It might seem to some organizations that they are caught between the proverbial rock and a hard place. More and more organizations are being held accountable for their decisions and consumers vote with their spending dollar.
Whatever the reason for this shift, and there are many reasons, people that work in these organizations are finding more and more support for making Awakened Decisions.
One challenge that these leading edge decision makers are facing is how to break out of the old paradigms of thinking and problem solving in order to find new ways of thinking when looking for new products as well as solutions to supply of resources and human power.

What is needed for your organization to break out of it’s old ways and join this emerging way of operating?

Who else is asking these same questions in your organization?
