Organizational Enlightenment (OREN)

Organisational Knowing is distinct from forms of discrete information that is easily articulable. Organisational Enlightenment is also different from organizational knowing because processes of knowing and the consciousness about how awareness arises and is held is associated with the collective phenomena of how roleholders experience an organization and affect themselves and the organization in the process of normative task engagement. Considering these, there are numerous unexamined assumptions in organizations are based on frames, structures, pictures-in-the-mind which are never or seldom examined or thought about. What does this non-thinking lead to? Non-thinking presumes a knowing that may be a pretense? Or is it that there are discounts on thinking and a premium on doing and following orders? These and other such assumptions need examining. Organizations often build foundations on shaky grounds, such as images, which are illusions and can dissolve without notice. Enlightenment approach needs also to look at spiral dynamics and the current research on neuroscience and consciousness.
