ABOUT THE EVOLUTION OF WORK ORGANIZATION

KEY HYPOTHESIS (FREDERIC LALOUX)

« Every time humanity has shi!ed to a new stage of consciousness, it has also invented a radically more productive organizational model »

Tribal / Impulsive / Fear, division of labour

Agrarian / Conformist / Hierarchy, trusting authority

Modern / Achievement / Innovation, profit, growth

Post-modern / Pluralistic / Culture-driven, consensus

ALL SOFAR ARE BASED ON A CLASSICAL PYRAMID STRUCTURE.

BUT WAIT, A NEW WAY IS JUST EMERGING AS COMPLEXITY

EXPLODES

Tribal / Impulsive / Fear, division of labour

Agrarian / Conformist / Hierarchy, trusting authority

Modern / Achievement / Innovation, profit, growth

Post-modern / Pluralistic / Culture-driven, consensus

Evolutionary

Self-management,

operating on a basis of

peer relationships rather

than hierarchy.

Evolutionary - TEAL

Wholeness,

which means the whole

person and not just the

professional self comes to

the workplace.

Evolutionary purpose,

in essence, the organization

itself having a direction and

a reason for living.

WHAT MAKES LIIP CLOSE TO TEAL?

- Lots of Liipers powered business and technology initiatives

- No middle management, no CEO, no head of’s, no team leads…

- Partners willing to let go, low salary ratio (1:3)

- 130 Liipers, roughly 4.5 FTE official management

SOME INDICATORS

SO, HOW DOES THAT WORK?

EMPOWERMENT

SELF ORGANISED TEAMS

- Sell, produce, maintain projects

- Hire, develop, organise Liipers

- Innovate

- “Do what you want, and take the responsibility”

OK, ARE THERE CONSTRAINTS?- Yes! A need to transparently monitor :

- Client delightment

- Team morale (or members happiness)

- Profitability

PEOPLE

LIIPERS ARE OUR MOST PRECIOUS ASSET!

STRATEGY

- Salary

- Conflicts management

- Bigger budget decisions

- Legal limitations

- Crisis?

WAIT, WE ARE NOT COMPLETELY “TEAL”

YET, SOME NASTY STUFF IS LEFT…

It might look like it, but it’s not that easy :)

- It takes time

- Collaborators mindset have a big influence

- It helps to be in a growing market

- Self vs. Shelf ? Which is the best way to go forward?
