Introduction

The emerging Teal concept was coined in the book Reinventing Organisations by Frédéric Laloux in 2014. Its concepts were constructed from research into more than 50 existing real-world organisations during the early 2000s that were exhibiting new, un-reported styles of organisation. Teal is observation & communication, rather than design & impose.

Every bar had table football and was bicycle and dog friendly. Hungary had seemingly endless summers and the local culture sweet, welcoming, humble and friendly. Budapest was cool.

The Network of groups

The Municipality

Municipalities at that time were responsible for very basic works like roads, shared village water pumps and general electricity supply

We are not equal, we are free

If one of our friends is particularly excited to eat bananas one day then we are happy, because we love our friends. There is no problem, we just get more bananas the next day. We are not equal, we are free

Non-interventionist social problem solving

The translators could barely keep up with him as he danced around the room with big fiery eyes waving his hands and describing the awe inspiring delicate social-emotional intelligence of The Network.
