AB - New paradigms in science and in management are recognizing that consciousness pervades the evolving order of the natural world and is the essential foundation for organizational transformation. We describe seven properties of a consciousness-based organization: efficiency on a par with nature's principle of least action; spontaneous and frictionless coordination; creative inspiration akin to artistic genius; doing well by doing good: prosperity and social value; harmony with the natural environment; spontaneous change in an evolutionary direction; and leadership which promotes full human development. Specific practices to develop consciousness in organizations are identified. These qualities and practices are illustrated through a fictional story of a manufacturer of top quality, environmentally friendly solar energy technologies.
