Organizational metamorphosis

Goethe’s Way of Science makes it possible to see the continuous form and metamorphosis of the growing plant. What I’m wondering about is whether organizations are like plants? If so, this has profound implications on how we see and think about organizations. Henri Bortoft writes in The Wholeness of Nature: Goethe’s Way of Science (page 93) that:

“[Dynamical organic systems] have to be understood holistically and not analytically, as well as dynamically and not statically.”
