As people show an interest in writing for the Winter edition of eO&P on Conscious Business it is striking how many different angles there are to the subject. They are all important in their own way.
This poses both a risk and an opportunity.
On the one hand conscious business could mean anything to anyone – becoming buried in its own fuzzy well meaning. On the other, the number of avenues offers the possibility of making real sustainable change: change that we can look back on and say ‘this is the difference we have all made’.
The role of the law in building and sustaining relationships in conscious business.
The impact that an enlightened approach to human resources can have.
Moving from straightforward management models to paying attention to long term sustaining ‘communities of influence’ to bring about change.
The role of forgiveness in how we manage to work together.
There needs to be some centralising theme around which these different paths consciousness business can develop. For us, in this edition of eO&P, this needs to be the interaction between ideas of conscious business and what happens on the ground to make this happen; in other words a ‘groundedness’ to consciousness business. We especially want to hear what goes well and what doesn’t as people struggle with making an abstract ideal to a practical reality.
However, these are our thoughts today as we start the process of sourcing articles and editing eO&P, a process that will take several months. In those months to come we will be sharing with you our consciousness as we work with these ideas and make sense of them with the authors. In other words, it is consciousness in practice.
