When I say the word ‘organisation’, I tend to think about an institution or a community or a set of people working towards and for the same drive. Often used as a noun, an organisation is referred to as an institution or a business. But as a verb, organisation means organising oneself or collectively as a set of individuals towards a common purpose.
While the organisation as a noun is a belief, an idea, as a verb, the word reflects an action. Both these meanings – the noun and the verb sense of organisation – are interlinked and have the same etymological roots. The organisation brings people or multiple entities together from diverse backgrounds under one roof, under one frame and bringing a structure to them.
Be it at an individual level or a collective one, organisation acts like a guiding star that plays a pivotal role in giving a direction and keeping one aligned to the initial intent and the principles that lead us to the fruition of our intent.

In that sense, even though an organisation may not appear as a physical space or element, the idea of its existence shapes us into who we are. It gives (or instead helps) us find our purpose.
