Future of Work Meetup: Self-organization in practice

Event Details

This meetup is your chance to get your challenges regarding self-organization sorted out. You bring a challenge and the community solves it. Send us (office@be-teal.com) your topics in connection to:

general teal practices

transforming organizations and teams

principles of self-organization

…etc.

We will collect and bring your issues to the meetup, discuss them on a first come first served basis and try to find solutions together with the community.

With the steady increase of economic well-being, money is not anymore the first motivator but people strive to find happiness at workplaces. They aim to find purpose in their work and attain wholeness at their workspaces. They aspire to have more impact and freedom in what they do. Traditional structures cannot fulfill these aspirations, which leads to sad statistics according to which 85% of employees are disengaged at work worldwide. Self-organization seems to provide solutions to all of these problems. It empowers the members of the team to participate in the decision-making process and gives them the freedom to adjust their workload at least at some level. When employees feel more responsible for the decisions made and they identify with the mission of the organization, they are more motivated to execute them.

Format: Fishbowl Technique

This format enables the entire group to take part in the conversation since several people can join the discussion consecutively. Participants will have a chance to talk about self-organization in practice, solve challenges together, actively participate or just observe; and take away ideas and inspiration.

Since we’re meeting at a brand new location this time, we’d like to thank Rebus for providing us with a comfortable room.

As we decided to organize the 3rd Meetup in the morning hours, we’ll be sharing Potluck-style Breakfast. Therefore, you should bring something for you to munch on and a little sharer for someone else. If you don’t have time to arrange it before, there’ll be an opportunity to buy something in the Juice Bar on-site.

Please note:

This is the third event of a Future of work event series. If you cannot make it this time, please keep an eye on the upcoming events.
