Our guest, Frederic Laloux is the author of the book Reinventing Organizations, which took three years to research. It has not only become a global bestseller but is also considered by many to be the most influential management book of the decade, inspiring countless organizations to adopt radically more soulful and purposeful management practices. This is probably one of the biggest inspirations for the founding of LIVEsciences.

Laloux has said, “There’s something that is transformative about these new management practices that they also fundamentally change the nature of the business itself, and the nature of society...” The book has turned into a movement, with many organizations in many different industries deciding to make the leap to “teal”.

After the phenomenal success of the book, Laloux didn’t rest on his laurels – he launched a series of 130 videos titled, “Insights for the Journey” that builds on the book and focuses on the question, “how can existing, traditionally-run organizations make the leap?”

There’s not much we can say about him that hasn’t been said before, but we will say that we’re all excited to hear about his bold and innovative new project – The Week.

We’re extremely honored to have Frederic Laloux as our very special LIVING ROOM CONVERSATIONS guest, hosted by Timm Urschinger.
