Although large human organizations might be composed of aware and evolved individuals and leaders, they operate at the collective level exactly like limbic brain forms of life that appeared earlier on Earth.
In social species such as companies, governments, administrations, even NGOs, most action are driven by the law of the strongest for the sake of survival and life expansion. Surviving, growing, gaining more territory, reproducing (spin offs, subsidiaries, new brands...), discarding competitors, eating preys (M&A), hunting for the scarce money, making symbiotic alliances are the key drivers. Limbic brain predatory drives are reflected in today's corporate language and international politics.
| Limbic brain forms of life | Pyramidal collective intelligence organizations | |
| Form | Evolved mammals, birds, etc.. | Companies, governments, armies, churches, large NGO's... |
| Energy | Food | Money, , raw material, work force (M&A, human exploitation...) |
| Territories | Land | Market shares, standards, property, patents, land... |
| Expansion | Sexual reproduction Increase speacies | Spin-offs, subsidiaries, franchises |
| Dynamics | Increase species through sexual reproduction and space expansion | Increase market share, eliminate competition, gain territorial space |
In the best case some organizations decide to stick to a set of ethical rules (such as CSR – corporate social responsibility, sustainable development, fair trade...). But it keeps limited in scale as vital needs are believed to be under threat. These ethical behaviors are mostly triggered by external pressure such as market, legal, ethical and political constraints. They are not the fruit of endogenous growth of collective consciousness (while individuals may all agree in moral values).
Indeed most organizations today are seeking to build the highest possible collective intelligence, wisdom and consciousness (CIWC). How can they marry wisdom and competitiveness, highest individual potential and collective achievement, happiness and rationality?
Mainstream thinking in the pyramidal collective intelligence paradigm still claims that wisdom and efficiency are two separate irreconcilable things. But more and more individuals and leaders today realize that elevated consciousness and wisdom is not just a good thing from the moral standpoint of view. Wisdom and elevated consciousness are the necessary shift to embrace today's challenges, increase competitiveness, and create sustainability.
Today the cutting-edge work for wisdom driven people is to build global wisdom driven organizations.
