Abstract: AbstractIn this chapter, the biotic/biological structure of an intelligent human organization is more deeply analyzed. Some fundamental characteristics of highly intelligent biological organisms and other complex adaptive systems are scrutinized and compared with human organizations as composite complex adaptive systems — organizational consciousness, orgmindfulness, collective intelligence, connectivity, engagement. It is crucial for intelligent human organizations to possess these biological and complexity associated characteristics. Structurally, a highly intelligent human organization should resemble a highly intelligent biological being. In particular, the characteristics and significance of consciousness, awareness, self-awareness, mindfulness, orgmindfulness, collective intelligence and quality connectivity are further examined with respect to nurturing the orgmind, intangible structure and physical structure in highly intelligent complex adaptive systems (iCAS).
