Reinventing Organizations is a book written by Frederic Laloux that explores the concept of self-management and the use of innovative organizational structures to promote collaboration, creativity, and innovation within organizations.

In the book, Laloux argues that traditional hierarchies and managerial structures are often inefficient and ineffective, and that they can stifle innovation and creativity. Instead, he proposes the use of self-managing structures that allow individuals to work together in a more collaborative and autonomous way. These structures, which he refers to as "teal organizations," are characterized by a strong sense of purpose, trust, and transparency, and they rely on the collective intelligence and creativity of the group to make decisions and solve problems.

Overall, Reinventing Organizations is a thought-provoking book that offers an alternative vision for the way organizations can be structured and managed, and it has had a significant impact on the way many people think about organizational design and management.

• what has generally been thought of as a single major transformation in consciousness and culture in the last four or five decades actually contains two major transformations, emerging successively, and known variously as pluralistic and integral, individualistic and autonomous, relativistic and systemic, HumanBond and Flexflow, green and teal, and order 4.5 and order 5.0, among many others. And, as developmentalists are increasingly discovering, these two transformations are simply the latest two in a long line of consciousness transformations that, slightly modifying the terms of Jean Gebser, for example, are called Archaic, Magic (Tribal), Mythic (Traditional), Rational (Modern), Pluralistic (Postmodern), and Integral (Post-postmodern).
