Ideas

Leading “a soulful revolution in the workplace”, Laloux’s book Reinventing Organizations focuses on how to turn a disillusioned organization into an enlightened one. His research and analysis demonstrates that every time humanity has shifted to a new stage of consciousness in the past, it has invented new ways to structure and run organizations. The enlightened organization, he said, is collaborative, decentralised, and adaptive, with a “sense and respond” approach to problems, operating on trust rather than fear.

A former associate partner with McKinsey & Company, Laloux holds an MBA from INSEAD, and a degree in coaching from Newfield Network in Boulder, Colorado. He moved from Brussels with his young family to join an ecovillage in upstate New York. Laloux has travelled widely and speaks five languages.
