From which level of consciousness an organization functions, the evolution is such that once all the values within this level of consciousness are integrated, the organization feels the need to acquire new insights, new goals, and new forms of cooperation. Just before a new step is taken, the organization struggles with fatigue emerging from within the system. In response, the group works harder and gradually wears themselves out or sometimes some of those within the group work harder and take even greater responsibility and commitment while others lag behind. This often creates tension and frustration.
Katalpa Social Profit uses the knowledge and insights gained within both the social profit sector and the private sector. Several consciousness models can be used within the social profit sector but the value model developed by R. Barrett and his associates is particularly interesting because it identifies what level of consciousness an organization currently works from, what blind spots are present, and to which kind of organization it wants to develop. The establishment of a full-spectrum consciousness allows the organization to be effectively, assertively and firmly rooted in the world, creating on a pro-active and efficient way socially relevant projects and services.
