#106 Agile Organizations with Jutta Eckstein

In this book, Frederic Laloux explores the evolution of organizational models through history, identifying five stages of development: Red, Amber, Orange, Green, and Teal. The Teal stage, which is the focus of the book, is characterized by self-management, wholeness, and evolutionary purpose. Laloux provides detailed case studies of pioneer organizations that have adopted these principles, demonstrating how these new models can lead to more soulful, purposeful, and productive organizations. The book also discusses the broader implications of these changes, including potential shifts in consumerism, monetary systems, and global communities[1][2][4].

Bossa Nova, by Jutta Eckstein and John Buck, explores company-wide agility by integrating Beyond Budgeting, Open Space, Sociocracy, and Agile. The book offers a holistic approach to organizational change, moving beyond simply implementing Agile methodologies. It emphasizes the importance of adapting financial structures, decision-making processes, and organizational hierarchies to foster flexibility and responsiveness. The authors provide practical tools and examples to guide organizations through this transformation. Bossa Nova encourages a more collaborative and adaptive organizational culture.
