Transformance

	The SPIRITECH UK vision is to take the new paradigm of the “learning organisation" and transform it further, into the “living organisation”. What is the “living organisation”? (cf ‘An organisation that learns and encourages learning among its people. It promotes exchange of information between employees hence creating a more knowledgable workforce. This produces a very flexible organisation where people will accept and adapt to new ideas and changes through a shared vision.’ - gerard@ee.ed.ac.uk ) The central principle of the living organisation is “thrive not survive”: the new business culture wants and needs to go beyond the “survival” paradigm, and with the learning organisation paradigm it has done this. Now it needs to go further still, to a principle of thriving and nearly organic self-identification. To do this SPIRITECH UK introduces the idea of “business drivers”, a set of working principles that can take any organisation and transform it into a thriving, striving creative machine. The fact is that now, whether we know it or not, we ourselves, and our organsiations, are becoming applications. As much as we are applying applications, they are applying us. The extraordinary speed of development of software has created a working environment where we cannot keep pace with the training and other needs entailed with complex new software and hardware. A bridge must now be built that allows the user to not only be and feel part of the organisation, but be and feel part of the organisation-as-application itself. Individuals want to see themselves in the system; after all, spending so much time with applications and “ virtual applications”, such as organisations, it is natural that, eventually, the user will in certain senses identify with them. And this inevitable identification produces, throughout an organisation, a new perception that, between man and machine, there is the emergence of an “organisation mind”.
	As opposed to the old paradigm of the “organsiation man”, an “organisation mind” is a synthesis of men, women and minds - both human and machine - a mergence of formidable and dynamic potential. The idea of the “stand-alone” application has been common usage for some years; SPIRITECH UK proposes the “stand-together” application, which is another name for this new “organisation mind”, itself an aspect of the coming meta-media environment that merges spirituality and technology in the shared mind of the organsiation. Does this mean a de facto loss of individuality for the people in the organisation? It would seem so, but in fact you have to appreciate that SPIRITECH UK is supplying what it terms a “non-exclusive context”: a mirror of the fundamental reality as we now understand it through the new physics, where everything is indeed united at some basic level. Understood in this way, the organisation mind is not burying the parts, but rather uplifting their sum to create a unified dynamic in workplace consciousness the potential and enactment of which SPIRITECH UK gives the overall term “Transformance”. The key to Transformance is “present context app’s”: fast, future-facing bits of information that center the user in the present, where the transformation of cosnciousness takes place. And the final result, so to speak, is “I’Mpact”, a SPIRITECH UK “live” assessment employing artifcial life programs that provides bits of each and every user in the organisation, a dynamic database that every user on the network can enjoyably browse, randomly reassociating individual input to create new digitalised, readily-accessible meta-profiles of organisational entities integrating and representing aspects of the living organisation.
