So what’s this “Teal” organisations thing?

There has been some major buzz generating about “Teal” organisations. It started with Frederic Laloux’s book “Reinventing Organizations”.

So, something happened at the Integral Theory Conference.

Four weeks now since it ended and its still happening. Not with quite the same intensity, but intense enough that it feels like one of those things where once the experience has been had, the power of it means that things are never really going to be the same again.

I’m all about flow. Being in a flow state brings me a sense of joy and the feeling of being authentic in the moment. This is a topic I have been studying for eight years and with which I feel intimately connected.
