building capacity requires an understanding of purpose

organisations have

a twofold purpose

On an organisational level, this purpose is directed towards the development of its vast potentialities, comprising both those virtues and qualities that should adorn every human being and those talents and characteristics that are the organisational’s unique endowment.

organisations have

a twofold purpose

On a societal level, it is expressed through dedication to the promotion of the welfare of the human race.

organisations have

a twofold purpose

The aspects of the sense of twofold purpose are fundamentally inseparable, for the standards and behaviour of organisations shape their environment, and in turn are molded by social structures and processes.

Unless the transformation of both organisations and environment are addressed simultaneously, the full potential of humanity’s age of maturity cannot be realized.

When an organisation focuses on the transformation of society, it requires the development of new capabilities.

When an organisation focuses on the transformation of society, it requires the development of new capabilities.

When these new capabilities are developed, the potential of the organisation becomes more manifest.

for an organisation to manifest its twofold purpose it needs to be united.

if we take man as he is we make him worse

but if we take man as he should be we make him capableof becoming what he can be. V. Frankl after W. Goethe
