The future of Teal Organizations
At Makers, Friday means many special things. One is lunchtime Pecha Kucha talk by any fellow makers on any topic they are passionate about, followed by the afternoon cohort retrospective that ends with a cold hard earned beer at 4pm to wrap up yet another week of intense learning. We makers work hard and play hard.
I will start with the inspiring lunchtime talk by Evgeny, the CEO of Maker’s Academy, who shared the secret behind Maker’s success based on the concept of a teal organizations, best described by Frederic Laloux’s book ‘Reinventing Organizations’.
I’d never thought that a topic on how organizations evolved would have ignited such passionate discussions in the audience. Is it possible that through hundreds of years of evolution, our current day default ‘orange’ organizations aka efficient money making machine can evolve to the next level of ‘teal’ organization that functions entirely based on Trust and alignment of values centred on personal growth?
Pairing of the Day
It’s a threesome! We lost Alaan by the end of the day so Eleni timingly stepped in for the group photo with George and myself.
Columns are good for bracing yourself if you ever feel light headed while pairing!
