via Al PhaLo What types of organizations occur at each level of development? Frederic Frederic Laloux new book Reinventing organizations looks at how organizations have evolved over time. And what might be the next evolution of what organizations look like - which would be the teal stage in Integral theory.

Teal allows the structure within it to reorganize. So new hierarchies can form and dissolve. Orange is about giving value to shareholders. Shareholders own the company. Green is about giving value to all stakeholders - from customer, to shareholder to community. All stakeholders own the company. Teal is about the energy field which is sensed into follow its evolutionary impulse. Because it is constantly emerging and evolving it cannot be owned. Examples of teal organizations are Morning Star (which makes tomato sauce), Valve (a software organization), holocratic organizations, Buurtzog( a nursing organization), and FAVI ( a manufacturing organization).
