WHOLE A W.I.S.E. world focuses on the WHOLE because here is where the health of individuals, organizations and our planet resides. Health is the most important asset which any living being posesses. A focus on the health of the whole will ensure positive outcomes. It is interesting to note that the English word “whole” originates from the proto-Germanic word “haila” which means “undamaged”. “Haila” is not only the source of the word whole, but also of the word health.
In other words, when we focus on the whole, we automatically focus on the health of our organizations as well.
WHOLE also implies the well- known maxim that
“The whole is greater than the sum of its parts”.
An example of this maxim can be understood by automobile parts. The individual parts have no apparent value. However when they are all assembled into a car, the value in its ability to transport people and goods becomes evident. This is an important viewpoint which is often not perceived.
