The use of history is to give value to the present hour and its duty.

Welcome to the Loving Organization!

This site was originally dedicated to understanding the revolution in organizations and management. More than this, it's always been an attempt to understand our times, and the ideas behind these extraordinary times.

We all know by now that we are in revolutionary times. Our current economic crisis is but a symptom of a much more profound crisis that cuts across the entire culture. It's not the economy stupid, as we have been told. It's the culture stupid, and the ideas, the world view, the belief system on which our culture is based. That's the real story. That's the real crisis.

Organizational and management issues are still crucial to this cultural transformation, but they are but an offshoot of the larger crisis.

The "Crisis of our Age" was best defined by Harvard Sociologist Pitirim Sorokin, in a book he published in 1941.

This classic work begins with these ominous words-

"Every important aspect of the life, organization and the culture of Western society is in extraordinary crisis…Its body and mind are sick and there is hardly a spot on its body which is not sore, nor any nervous fibre which functions soundly…We are seemingly between two epochs: the dying Sensate culture of our magnificent yesterday and the coming Ideational age."
