In the last century, changes in technology have driven massive developments in the social economy. The Fourth Industrial Revolution demands new approaches to organisational structures and teams. A paradigm shift is emerging, putting engagement, relations, inclusion and freedom at the centre. We need small self-managed teams, in a team-of-teams structure to be relevant to employees and customers, and in order to adapt to a changing world. In his second book, Erik Korsvik Østergaard draws on the workings of Frederic Laloux, and his 2014 title Reiventing Organisations. Laloux discusses the five organisational stages to the modern workforce; the Red, Amber, Orange, Green and Teal stages. And with these writings, Østergaard presents arguments towards how the classical corporate structure at the Orange stage, has experienced a rise in teal dots, or rather, neo-modernist forms of team-oriented organisms, which express a reorganisation for the future workforce. AUTHOR: Erik is Partner and Founder of Bloch&Østergaard, a Danish leadership advisory company that provides inspiration, guidance, and implementation support to top and middle management.
