ABSTRACT: This article proposes a new model for measuring an organization’s impact using Quantum Science of Consciousness that considers both the degree of expression of an impact measure and the level of maturity of the organization. The model argues that extremes of apathy and fixation are detrimental, while moderation represents an optimal state of “expanded consciousness” that fosters a resilient and evolutionary organizational culture. The model introduces a matrix plotting maturity against moderation, with the Y-axis representing levels of maturity and the X-axis denoting the degree of expression of impact measures. The model categorizes organizations into five levels, ranging from unexpressed to fully expressed impact measures. The article uses real-life examples to illustrate the different levels of maturity and expression on the model, and concludes that organizations at level five, the “sweet spot,” are able to maximize their impact across all measures without making trade-offs.
