DrupalCon Barcelona 2015: Self-Managing Organizations: Teal is the new Orange
About this talk
This talk explores the transformation of Liip from an "orange" organization focused on innovation to a "green" entity defined by empowerment and a values-driven culture, as outlined by Frederic Laloux in his book Reinventing Organizations. The speaker shares insights from the company’s growth from two small firms with fewer than 20 employees to a team of over 100 in just eight years. Key topics include strategies for maintaining company culture while expanding, adapting management practices without introducing middle management, and handling challenges such as employee turnover and collaboration in the open-source community. Additionally, the session touches upon Liip's early discussions about evolving into a "teal" organization, emphasizing the importance of self-management.
