I am looking for an adjective to describe an organization that does not only sense what is happening within itself (its own data) but is also aware of the (external) environment. One could say that this organization has senses/perceptors. Specifically, I am referring to an organization/ a group of people and not to individual organisms.
Words that came to my mind were sensitive (but the meaning is a bit different as it describes how you react to things you perceive), conscious (too passive), and sentient (like that one the most).
I would not limit the search to adjectives only if there are good phrases etc. to describe what I am looking for.
Best Answer
percipient
capable of or characterized by perception (Merriam-Webster)
Some examples of relevant usage:
Incorporated the concept of observer equivalence that was implicit in the belief in a physical reality that is independent of any percipient entity.
Pfeffer and Nir, Modern Physics: An Introductory Text (2nd Edition), 2012
When I perceive I must become percipient of something-there can be no such thing as perceiving and perceiving nothing.
Moeller, Introduction to College Philosophy (2013)
The sensum, though distinct from the sensation, is dependent upon the perceiver. It is in fact a resultant of the meeting of a certain object and a certain percipient subject.
Ross, Aristotle (2005)
