Session outline
Bringing Teal and Self-Management Practices to bear in a small but ambitious enterprise might be considered only of interest to similar small operations, but our experiences are that people in larger, traditional and more orthodox organisations need inspiration and insight for their own teams, functions and divisions and seek it from the smaller teal "upstarts".
Whilst we've transformed and adapted ourselves fully into a teal, self-managed and non-hierarchical outfit, working out loud and sharing our practices in an enlightening way is helping shift mindsets and inspiring others to experiment and introduce their own versions of our practices.
And we continue to craft, experiment and adapt and openly share what we do as well as use it in our consulting. So all we're doing translates out and up to other organisations in whatever sector, size and construct.
So you may think Teal and Self-Management is fine for outliers like Buurtzorg and Morning Star and small and tight independent business ventures.
Our experience is, with the right intent and outcomes, it's for ANYBODY.
